Posted • Waiheke Island, NZ 🇳🇿

We took a quick ferry ride over from Auckland to spend the day/night on the lovely island of Waiheke! I finally convinced Lee to do something slightly dangerous & we had the best time zip lining 🤪 We also visited some local wineries and had a fantastic dinner at our hotel 🍷 The hospitality was incredible! We spent the morning running around the island in the rain and it was so peaceful 🫶🏼
