yesterday we hit up ragitoto island, which is just off the coast of auckland, got some proper mint pictures, however at first glance the island just looks like trees and pritty baron!!! so with low expectations we arrived at 10 in the morning after a brief boat trip out! being the keen moutaineerers (obviously very wrong spelling!?) we headed up the volcano, after none of us had walked anywhere for the past year or so it was very tough but when reaching the top there were some breathtaking views of the surrounding island (as illustrated in our pics) obviously none of us were in any condition to appreciate them for the first ten minutes or so, but after some water we set about taking the views in!

after we had reached the peak we decided to visit the islands beach, wen we arrived we were the only ones on the beach, which had beautiful golden sands! it ws very relaxing, tom decided to go for a swim whilst myself n nick kicked back soaking up the rays (this is how i talk after a week in nz lol) i ended up being very burnt..... and tom was attacked by a bee.... tht boys not havin too much luck as of late bless him!
