Today (08/10) was an unusual day that started like any other else. Woke up. Breakfast. Go to an English school. Learn something new. Go back home. Lunch.
Then, I got the entire afternoon for my self. First, I wasted it watching series, but then I get out with my friend Inacio to see something about our phones.
When we finished, I suggested to walk on Queenstreet and try to do something. - actually, I was trying to catch a person on the way, which didn't happen. - After that, I got the idea to take a ferry and go to Devonport, because I remembered that once a Brazilian girl - From the second post. - said that it was beautiful over there. Anyway, so we took the ferry and went to Devonport.

| The ferry that took us and Auckland in the Back |
She was right after all. It was a quiet and beautiful place. Nice neighbourhood, houses with a prestigious view of Central Auckland and the bay.
We took a piece of advice from the old man that sold our tickets. He said to us to go to Mt. Victoria and enjoy the view and that was our first stop.
The Mt. Victoria remembered me of Mt. Eden. It is also a volcano with no activity but unlike Mt Eden, Victoria doesn't have a gigantic hole. However, you can have a full 360 degrees view of the surroundings: Auckland Central, Volcanoes, Mission Bay and everything else.
So I took some pictures of the way up and once there too. As you can see here:
From there, we came down and went to a nearby beach called Cheltenham Beach where you can have a closer look at another volcano.
After that, we went back to the apartment. The ferries travel only take 15 min and it's not expensive at all to do it, so maybe I will come back there a few more times.
------------------------------------------- Fire Alarm
By the and of the day, when we were cooking our dinner, I was making burgers and all the smoke that came from the meat started the fire alarm in our apartment!! Me and Thiago had a quick response. He moving the pan to the window and me calling the reception, otherwise, maybe, the alarm could have activated the water system, that could be seriously terrible for me.

Our trip continues,
See ya!
