Back in Auckland, we decided to continue our exploration of nearby neighborhoods. This day found us in Westmere, where Mal’s dear cousin Annette not only lives but also teaches at the local primary school. Here are some of the variety of houses we saw during the walk.
We encountered some interesting fences, including one made of bamboo and another made of shells.
We also liked this classic orange and white caravan.
One distinguishing feature of New Zealand are the ubiquitous dairies (small general stores) that are often decked out in bright colors and advertising. Here are two from the neighborhood.
