My Family Trip To Auckland!

Good afternoon! Today I will be doing a blog post about my family holiday to Auckland, the 6th of January was the first day of our trip. On our way to our destination, we had a clear sight of the Sky Tower from the state highway we were driving from. Here's a photo of the Sky Tower, though the photo is quite blurred.  


































We stayed at Auckland for about 2 days, and after travelling a few more kilometres, we have finally reached our hotel. So we checked-in and left the hotel to explore the rest of Auckland. Unfortunately, we didn't visit the Sky Tower since we already visited the tower twice, though we did go to a few outlets, malls and parks while we spent our time in the city. It was a very long a tiring day and we decided to visit the park called "Parnell Rose Gardens" which had a huge variety of roses, here are some photos I took, I will be also writing in the names of the roses (names will be below the photo). 





























For this rose I didn't have to correct name but this was also known as "Garden rose", a rose species that is grown as an ornament plant in private/public parks. Also a very popular kind of rose
 





























"Star Quality"
































"Bush Rose" 


































"Rock n' Roll" 































"Burgundy Iceberg" 

There was also a garden named Dove Myer Robinson Park which was after this rose garden, the walk was about 10 minutes, while we were walking in the garden we came across this plant which was called "Monstera", here's a picture of the plant 

  






























Though the walk ended shortly after, and behind the park was a bay called "Judges Bay Parnell", but I didnt have any photos of the bay. But furthermore, I had a memorable journey and it was amazing to explore the places of Auckland that we haven't yet to discover.

Baby Riam's Christening/Baptismal

Kia Ora! Yesterday, the 20th of December, a baby was baptised in St. Mary's Star of the Sea, our school church. He is a younger sibling to one of the students from the school I attend in, St. Mary's, his name is Riam and he is currently 4 months old.

It was lovely to be there to participate in the mass/baptismal, gathering with friends and family. Though there were only a few, It was great getting to see the baby baptised and being with friends! After a short mass the people who went to the baptismal were welcomed in the family's home to have a meal. There was a ton of food, and there were different varieties of food. Here are a few photos of friends and family in the church after the mass. See you soon and Happy Holidays!
