Auckland Confidential: A dispatch from the Southern Hemisphere summer

In this podcast: Exploring New Zealand's biggest city and remote islands (Recorded 12/21/24 in Auckland)

Kia ora from Auckland! It’s been almost two years since we’ve been here. But it’s our first summer here — and we love it.

Here’s this week’s question: What’s the farthest you’ve been from home for the holidays? Here in Auckland, we’re almost halfway around the world from home, so we’re really feeling the distance. (Hi family! We miss you!)

Auckland is surrounded by indescribably green islands. This is the old-growth area of Tiritiri Matangi Island, which feels a little bit like walking through a screensaver. So beautiful!

Just a short drive outside of Auckland you’re in the bush. Here’s the view from Waitakere Ranges Regional Park. We’ll tell you what we thought of our adventure in the podcast.

We had to show you the kumara sourdough from Amano Bakery. Best bread in the southern hemisphere so far. You have to get some early in the morning just after they open because they sell out.

Don’t forget this week’s question: What’s the farthest you’ve been from home for the holidays?

Speaking of holidays, I hope you have a great holiday season! Thank you for listening. We’ll see you soon.
