On our way from the northern island to Waiheke Island we rode a ferry. It was very big. We also saw about twenty other islands. About five were even volcanic!
The word Waiheke means “cascading waters” or “trickling waters”.
Also Waiheke Island has a large number of vineyards because its soil is very good for growing grapes making it an ideal place to sell wine to other parts of New Zealand. When I went to one we saw lots of mosaics (broken bits of pottery )then we saw lots of shapes in the clouds.
Waiheke Island is rich in birdlife and islanders want to keep it that way by taking out predators that aren’t supposed to be there like stoats. You might see stoats traps witch look like little black boxes
The trails and paths are protected by washing your feet on brushes built into the ground.
