On what felt like the first Autumn day of the year, with clear blue skies and a slight chill in the air, we went for a walk through the streets of Grey Lynn. We dropped in at our friend Kris’s store, Pearl. Lauren took a break from the walk to try on some clothes. As we have said before on this blog, Kris designs and makes Auckland’s most beautiful women’s clothing and she is currently having a sale, so head on over.
From Pearl we continued our walk through the neighborhood, which consists mainly of old villas and cottages.
It’s always important for your car to match your house
With its native flax and toe toes (a type of tall grass), this home had a decidedly beach feel.
Having walked up and down a number of hills we sought refreshment at the New Leaf kombucha tap room. We sampled a number of their different kombuchas. They were all amazing but our favorites were the Hopbucha (which included hops in the brew and consequently had a decidedly beer flavor) and the Iron Goddess (which had hints of pear). All of the kombuchas are brewed on the premises using natural ingredients and include no added sugars or flavorings. They are also alcohol and caffeine free.
Today we passed not just one but two classic cars. This hot pink toyota
And this Ford Fairlane.
