BONBADAK DREAM


Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple - A Peaceful Place To Rest (Including a Great Cafe!)
I love coming here.
The courtyard is well-kept with beautiful trees. It is a very peaceful setting.
Inside the main prayer room is the Buddha. I like praying inside the temple, even just a short moment of gratitude.

Omanawanui Track - A Must Do Waitakere Ranges Walk
Looking out over the water coming in from both sides. The Pacific Ocean bringing itself into the west coast beaches and sweeping wide into Manukau Harbour.
You would never know it is only 1 hour from Auckland CBD.

Blue Lake - A Beautiful Run In Nature
The beauty and difference of this run was that it was not about time or winning.
Instead of me trying to run against time, it was about how many laps of the lake I could do.
