I would put our address too, but I honestly don't know what it is-we're staying in a small guest house/apartment behind a very lovely house on Old Golf Course Rd...if you come visit we'll give you better directions! :)
I took a walk up to the Alexandra Clock-the book described the walk a 2-3 hours and pretty difficult-which is fine, I've got nothing but time! Unfortunately I'm apparently pretty terrible at following directions (or maybe it was the book!)-I did not got the right way at all, but I did finally end up getting to the clock and a great view of the city-and the walk was still lovely. It was along the Manuherikia River-which is less impressive than the Clutha but still very pretty to wander along (yes that is a winery right in town and yes their wine is great!).
I finally climbed up to the clock-which is really just a giant clock on the side of a hill. I could hear its motor running while walking up the hill and the minutes ticking away was incredibly loud! But it comes with a great view of town-and a great view of the way I could have gone if I hadn't paid attention to the directions in the book and that would have only taken about a half hour total instead of almost 2 hours!
So, here is Alex. We live on the other side of the bridge where an old golf couse used to be. All the houses have in our neighborhood have incredible views-but it seems their guest houses don't!
More adventures to come this weekend!
