Mt. Eden, Auckland

Happy Labour's Day! There's not much difference actually. The bakery is open today, my friends are working today. Only me, I'm not working. Sigh.

And I run out of cereals already!!! No breakfast today. What a morning.

Well... I went to Mt. Eden last sunday morning to jog. Yes, to jog. I'm a healthy girl. Mt. Eden (Maunghawau in Maori language) is the highest natural point in Auckland. Its a cinder cone (click if you don't know what is cinder cone). In fact, it is not high at all. I walked to the peak in 10 minutes, and got down in 10 minutes. So they call that high? Haha! And out of curiosity and my attempt to be adventurous, I went down to the crater!! The bowl-like crater is 50 metres deep. And according to wikipedia: "The volcano erupted several times resulting in a series of craters, with the last eruption about 15,000 years ago." Cool eh?

Oh, no pictures this time because I couldn't upload it. Will do so next week :D
