Espresso Coffee School
Bumped into this little hole in the wall between meetings. Planned on doing another post but loved this little place so thought I'd strike whilst the iron was hot. It's just a little place on Swanson Street, only got 2 tables inside one of which is an old school desk. Clearly most people will just... Continue Reading →

Bonnie Brae Reserve
Our local reserve isn't likely to be on peoples' list of places to visit in Auckland but we like it. Don't know why but it seems that in Auckland (maybe all of New Zealand) that parks are called reserves, there is often an area that it is wilder and maybe that's the reason for the...

Citrus Cafe

House Hunting
When you land in a new city one of the things that starts out a fun but quickly becomes a hassle is finding somewhere to live. You'd think that it would be the same process the world over, but no, each place has its own idiosyncrasies. In Hong Kong because of the small size of... Continue Reading →

Rocket Ship Park
One of the iconic parks in Auckland for a long time and still standing tall. The rocket ship climbing frame its self is labelled as the 3rd so clearly this place has been around a bit but can't find much history on it from the internet. Really wanted to get there as soon as I saw... Continue Reading →
