Lovely Maori teenage girls.They have good command of English language. Speaking to them is no problem.
I learnt a bit on Maori language:Ka nui te hari o toku ngakau.which means I am very happy.
Kahore ahau e mohio ( I don't understand Moari.)

Young and old doesn't make any difference when making friends.

The Maoris teenagers at Papakura, about 45mins ride by train from Auckland's Bitromart transport centre.They are very curious to see us but friendly.

Light aircrafts flew above us most of the time when we were at papkura.

A railway line at papakura station.
Very quiet and very cold, if you look at the background there are nice contour of land probably sheeps and horses farms.

On Sunday morning we decided to travel far from Auckland , so we took a train ride to Papakura (Flat-red earth) , hoping that we can see much of Auckland's outskirt. The journey time of 45mins with several station stops finally made our destination( in the southern area of Auckland.).

Its was actually a small town and a very quiet one.Perhaps it was Sunday so most shop were closed and less business activities.
