About Waiheke Island!
If there where any other places that I would want to go to Auckland are probably Waiheke Island. I would love to come here with my family and explore around the places on the island. What Waiheke means in English is Cascading or Ebbing Water. Waiheke is the third most populated area in New Zealand.

It's nice to know that you feel lucky that you live in Auckland, I do too! I love to live here because we can easy access great parks full of nature and playgrounds. I also like the fact that we have so many amazing beaches close by so everyone can enjoy. You came from a slightly different angle in this post as you are the first student mentioning the islands which is cool. Have you been in any of them? I've been at the Rangitoto for a sunset and it was terrific! Also, I went to Waiheke Island few times as well which is very nice.
