Mt. Eden

Yesterday I went to Mt. Eden which is the small mountain in Auckland.
It took approximately 30 minutes from city centre, and more 25 minutes from the foot to the summit of it.
The view from the summit was splendid.
I could see the beautiful sea and the buildings in the city at all angles.
There were many people who enjoy the scenery.
Meanwhile there were some runners, and they were running to the summit. Exactly it was a good place to run because the road was well-paved.
As running is very popular sport in New Zealand, we can see many runners in the city.
Because of the changeable weather, we couldn't avoid encountering the sudden strong wind or rain.
But except for that fact, Auckland is wonderful place to enjoy running.
Needless to say, it's also comfortable to live in.

By the way, there's also beautiful place to enjoy the view of the suburbs of the city, named One Tree Hill.
Although it is a little farer than Mt. Eden and I might use bus, I'd like to go there once.
