Waiheke Island

Waiheke Island, really close to Auckland, you get there in a ferry, after an hour ride. It is a great place for some quiet vacations, and the chance to get to know all the Winyards that are on the island. Of course the beaches are great also. There is one thing I found really curious there. They dont have water, from a company like you find in any average city or settlement, the have to collect rainwater in tanks, to consume. Otherwise, water is carried from the land. Pretty interesting detail on the place.
