Weekday afternoon drive around the city of Auckland, New Zealand's largest city. I would like to go to the South Island to the national parks next time!🙏 Auckland is on the North Island. I also made some adjustments to export variables. Curious to see the results here. and if you are wondering, New Zealand is fairly priced. Would recommend 👍
