Things to see and do Photos 1 - 5: Things to see at Auckland beaches.

Photo 1: Not everybody wants to swim or sunbathe at the beach. Sometimes it is good to just sit in the shade and watch ships and boats go by.
In photo 2 there is a waka (Maori canoe) coming into the beach, in photos 3 and 4 there are popular sports: paragliding and horseriding. In photo 5 at Auckland's Anniversay Weekend on Monday, you can also see lots of different sail boats in the Waitemata Harbour and Hauraki Gulf.


Photo 6 is Rose in the corn field with sunflowers behind her. Fields of corn are a common sight and sometimes they are also made into mazes for tourist attractions and fun.
 
Food
  
Photo 1: Green beans. Photo 2: Strawberries are still cheap! Photo 3: a peach on the left, 2 red nectarines and 2 apricots.
