First stop on our roadtrip were the world famous " Hundertwasser toilets" in Kawakawa which really were worth stopping for (especially in comparison to Bolivian toilets!!!). We also stopped in a Kauri museum which was expensive considering the boredom factor!!
The weather was pretty rubbish so we dropped our bags into out hostel and then immersed ourselves in some local culture with some NZ fish 'n' chips and a few beers...mmm!!! Next day we headed to the most northerly point in NZ called Cape Reinga which was great apart from the fact that there was alot of mist so visibility was poor. Now we have to get to Bluff (the most southerly point of NZ) before we leave!Next day the weather hadnt improved so we spent the day wandering Kerikeri which had more to offer than we thought and we visited Marsden winery which had some great tasters.
After putting it off for 3 days we got up to shining sun and headed off on 
a catamaran to sail the Bay of Islands. The sailing was really cool and fast and we had a little time to kayak after a yummy bbq! On the way back to Paihia we even spotted some Orca Whales and dolphins albeit from a distance.
Next day we headed back towards Auckland and stopped in a Kauri forest on our way, the trees really are mahussive!!! Thanks Heather for a great trip and we look forward to our guided tour of Bluff!!
