Day 2 - Ferry to Devonport (no, not the Spirit of Tasmania)

Day 2 - Auckland

The next (late) morning we had no trouble finding a nice coffee just up the road from our hotel. We walked down to Auckland harbour and decided to get on the ferry to Devonport only 20 minutes away. We bought a ticket that combined the ferry trip with a mini bus tour to a few points of interest on the other side, including trips up the two extinct volcanoes making up the Devonport area.

Nice enough view from the edge of an extinct volcano
We stopped for a drink in Devonport's main street before heading back on the ferry. After a walk around town we had dinner at a nice Italian restaurant by the harbour, which seemed pretty busy for a Monday night, must be all those tourists in town ......
