Why do I agree to this stuff?!

On Easter Monday Rob suggested we go for a ferry ride. I was thrilled as I love boats and hadn’t been on a ferry in a while. It was a gorgeous day, warm, bright blue sky and only a few clouds. Then he suggested we go over to Mt Rangitoto and take lunch. This sounded great to me. Then he suggested we climb Mt Rangitoto, I said ‘why not’. I hadn’t climbed Mt Rangitoto in about six years. OH MAN. Now I remember why I don’t do it on a regular basis. The climb up was feckin’ painful. The heat, the sore legs, the exhaustion. I realised the true measure of my unfitness. BIG.

We reached the top after just over an hour, I was so relieved. The view from the top was stunning, definitely worth the pain.
Going down was easy, only took us half the time. We were both tired by the end, but happy we did it.

We both agree it doesn’t need to be done again for awhile.
