Port Hills half day with Chocolate Shop bonus

Retrospective from 22nd August

A great half day walk in the Port Hills, perfect for a lazy Sunday and even better with a visit to the 'She Chocolat' shop half way round. See http://www.shechocolat.com/



From the carparks at Victoria Park, we climbed up the Harry Ell track to Sign of the Kiwi, which was pretty busy with people having an early lunch stop. We headed south on the crater rim walkway to Hoon Hay Park before dropping down to Governors Bay on the Faulkners Track and stopping for a chocolate fix at 'She Chocolat'.






To add a little variation on the return route, we climbed back up to the Crater Rim walkway via the Ngaio and Watlings track, before heading back to Sign of the Kiwi and Victoria Park. All in all a nice half day out in beautiful late winter weather with a perfect stop for lunch.
