Day of Week: Sunday
Cities visited: Auckland, Waiheke Island
Lodging: Ponsonby AirBnB
On Sunday we had a nice sleep in, a quiet but still luxurious way to enjoy the last full day of vacation in New Zealand.
We took a day trip to Waiheke Island, the number one Lonely Planet suggestion for New Zealand. This included a ferry ride and then a hop-on-hop-off bus to help us get around the island. We did a little wine tasting over lunch, saw some beautiful vineyards and beaches, and ended up having a long conversation while lying on the grass above one of those gorgeous beaches.
After ferrying back over to Auckland we wandered around figuring out where to get dinner, and ultimately ended up back at Saan for the second night in a row! It was our last dinner in New Zealand and we knew we'd enjoy it. Unlike the packed, buzzing vibe on Saturday night, our Sunday dinner was in a much quieter space. We sat in the back where we could watch the kitchen at work, which was a reminder of great chefs make cooking artful.
We had a feeling it might be hard to sleep on the plane so we went to bed early.
