On to Auckland

After our two days in Ohakune tramping and jet boating while staying in the Station Lodge YHA we boarded the train again for another half day north to Auckland. Here we had booked into an AirBnb close to downtown Auckland within walking distance of the water front. The AirBnb was owned and managed by Rene who was severely visually impaired. He was a very helpful host and even walked us to his favorite eating places. It was then that we realized how little he could see. He has a guide dog and a white cane. It was remarkable to see how he managed. We were happy with the AirBnb although not nearly as nice as the one we had stayed in in Wellington.
