Cornwall Park

Another cloudy day. I am waiting for a sunny day to go to Sky Tower, where people say we can see all Auckland. The day was not helping, so I had to think about something else. First thing to do. The laundry (yes, I'm doing it here). It was a piece of cake, and after hang the clothes it took less than two hours to have everything dried (even a jeans). The sun here is really hot. After that I had my toasts with peanut butter (as usual) and I had to decide what to do. Today I was sure that shopping wouldn't be a good choice. The bus I take everyday to come home pass in front of 'Cornwall Park', which I didin't know was a park yet. I thought this place was a volcano, then I decided to walk there today. It was a nice walk, but when I got there and realized it was a park, I've been around it for awhile to see what it looks like. It's a huge park with many families having picnics under the trees, playing ball etc. At the top of the hill there's a monument, believe or not, called Obelisco. I could find a shortcut to get there through the grass, passing between a few sheeps! :) Up there the view was nice, I could see most of the city and, of course, the Sky Tower! :P My way back was through the same path that took me to the top. Many pictures were taken. Tomorrow I'm leaving for my 5 days trip, so I think I'll be out of touch for some days.
