Auckland Central

In The Land of En Zed

Auckland had self proclaimed itself as the “City of Sails” and conveniently was surrounded by harbors. The weather was mildly warm for winter and tropical breezes drifted inward from the seafront and the corners of streets -- a lulling effect that already had the other tourists closing...

I’ve always been a timid person, sticking with what I felt was safe -- with what I was contented and comfortable doing. So as I gazed over the magnificent and vast landscape of Australia’s Blue Mountains, I realized I was far beyond that point already. I’d already pushed myself...
