Summer Holidays 2019: Auckland Schnitzel January 15, 2019 A rather long drive from National Park to Auckland, some “car business” and spare time in the park. Auckland Botanic Gardens – 64 hectares of land with extensive plant showcases and permanent collection of sculpture. “Butterfly” inspired by the movements of a dancer. “Turn” a circling spring memorial. Some curious visitors. Hibiscus Richardsonii. Tired wanderers. “Waka” a gateway to the Threatened Native Plants Garden as a reference to the ancient totara tree growing behind this site. A mural downtown Brown’s Bay. Schnitzel Donations in form of Darbo Preiselbeer Kompott are greatly appreciated ;)
