Here are some shots of Devonport. Pretty adorable, huh? Looking at this, you'd expect the townspeople to open their shudders and prance into the street, singing a great chorus to welcome us to their quaint village. But no such luck.
We did get to see a horse-drawn carriage, though! But as the picture also reveals, that's not the town's sole mode of transportation.
The second shot was taken immediately after getting off the ferry in Devonport. You see, you have to take a ferry from downtown Auckland to get to Devonport (it's only about a 5-minute ride). That only added to the place's cuteness.
The last photo is of the Esplanade hotel. I thought this building was absolutely beautiful.
We loved Devonport so much that we went out there twice. The second time around, we grabbed lunch at Devonport Stone Oven Bakery & Cafe and all ordered the tomato soup. It was so delicious that we decided to return later for afternoon tea. There wasn't any singing, but I guess you could say the place rubbed off on us.
