Waiheke Island - Huaraki Gulf

Today Jenn and I went to Waiheke Island out in the Hauraki Gulf, 35 minutes by FAST ferry from Auckland. It is approx. 22 km long and 20km wide at it's longest points and it's population is 8500. 1/3 of the island is residential and the other 2/3 is farmland and vineyards. Its is a great place to visit as you will see...
