This weekend we went for a hike in the Waitakere ranges again, this time to Fairy Falls. It was a good 2.5 hour hike that was well worth it. It had great views of the city and the waterfalls were really tall! The trail was a bit muddy, but not too bad. We got rained on partly through the walk, but I actually enjoyed it- it was a nice misting and wasn't too cold.
We also saw a kauri tree that was over 7m diameter. It was hidden pretty far in the bush so I couldn't hug it, but we did see another one on our hike that I tried to hug and couldn't get even close to wrapping my arms around it. They aren't quite as big as those trees you can drive through in California, but I think they're the biggest trees I've seen up close.
