Bay of Islands

Miiiiiiles away from home!

Cape Reinga... the end of New Zealand
The house where I live in Kerikeri!!

Hello! Time for an update! After the winter in National Park I decided it was time for summer (well, spring) so I went via Auckland to give my friend Wendy a visit, all the way up to the Bay of Islands. Twenty degrees and lots of sunshine! Yesterday I took a trip to the far far north. Not just to see Cape Reinga, but also to go for a four wheel drive over 90 mile beach, do some sandboarding down massive dunes (yes, I was scared allright!), and get fish and chips at Mangonui, supposed to be the best fish and chips shop in the country.

The rest of the time I work and live with a family to have my accomodation and food covered and can't complain!!

By the way: Ruapehu erupted two nights ago!!! It's not as white as in the picture I posted last time. It wasn't as big as in 1995 though, when the ashes came down all the way in Auckland...
