19th July 2008 - Coast to Coast walk

16km walk on Auckland's Coast to Coast route, from Viaduct Harbour to Onehunga. http://www.aucklandcity.govt.nz/whatson/places/walkways/coasttocoast/index.asp

With Mark and Justine Moriai who flew in a couple of days before. 16km walk taking in Mt Eden and One Tree Hill.

Pleasant, easy walk through suburbia and parks, with good views from the two hills. Had a delicious lunch at the cafe in Cornwall Park, which seemed to have a dedicated tea waiter.

Couldn't properly touch the sea at Onehunga due to motorway between us and the sea proper. We did touch the lagoon though. Probably could have touched the sea had we bothered to walk 10 minutes east or west.

Nice to have done once, but not bothered about doing it again - mostly it was through residential streets.
