Auckland Day 3

As it was Monday, Phil and Wendy were back in work so I took a drive down to Devonport which is a small village like area across the water from Central Auckland. I had a wander around the small shops here and had a browse around a huge secondhand book shop. On the Water front is the ferry terminal and I took the small ferry across the harbor to Auckland it self. I wandered around the shops here and found a Borders Book shop – I was looking for a Lonely Planet for the USA and I found one but it worked out it would be 10 pounds dearer than buying it in the US so I decided to wait.
I grabbed a coffee and went back down to the ferry terminal and back over to Devonport and called in a 'British Shop' I had seen earlier selling all the traditional sweets, toffees and lollies you get back in the UK to get some reminders of home!
Adjacent to Devenport is North Head which is is a defunct volcano, it was used by the New Zealand Navy as a Defence Observation post for many years and it is riddled with tunnels and gun emplacements.
