Christmas in the sun on Waiheke Island

An hour ferry boat ride away from Auckland is an island where we spent Christmas eve and day. The island is called Waiheke.

Stayed at a beachfront apartment, with living room windows opening onto Onetangi Bay. Christmas day consisted of a long walk on the beach, a drive around to discover the island, a game of scrabble by the water and quite an amazing dinner at Mudbrick Winery, on top of a hill with Auckland as the backdrop in the distance.
