Devon Port!

After school on Thursday, Nancy and I went to Devon Port with Alison, Kara, Jessica, Christine, David, Graham, and Nick. We piled into a 10 person van and drove about 45 min. away to the site.

 Devon Port is a cute old town near Auckland. In the town is Mt. Victoria where there are some bunkers and cannons left from the war when America tried to invade New Zealand. Devon Port is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. It over looks the beach and the foliage there is gorgeous.

Going through the trenches and caves was so cool. There is so much history there. We climbed up on one of the cannons for pictures. We took so many pictures, I am sure we looked like American tourists.

 As we walked around Devon Port there were so many rolling hills that could have easily been where hobbit houses were for Lord of the Rings. It was all so gorgeous. We went through many of the caves would poke our heads through the holes in the trenches. One of the best trips I have ever taken.

After wondering through the caves, we went up on top where there was cannon and saw the most breathtaking site of Auckland. All of us sat down and we took a silloette of us looking out at the water and city. It was such a site. We sat there for hours and just talked and took in the site of seeing the sunset over Auckland and the lights of the city. The city of Auckland at night with the harbor and the sky tower is one of the most breathtaking sites in the world. I am so glad Kara and Alison invited us to go with them.

After seeing Devon Port, we also went up to the waft/ pier where people where fishing and saw another beautiful view of the ocean and city at night. Everything I saw tonight was so gorgeous. Devon Port is definitely one of the most breath taking places in the world and a must see in Auckland. I could so live in a place this gorgeous. It is such a blessing to have the opportunity to see so many natural wonders of the world. We really do live on a beautiful planet.
