We picked up our hire car and headed out over the bridge. Andrew as usual said "we will just see where this road takes us", we ended up in a little town called Leigh, a stones throw from Goat Island ( there is a ferry that goes form Auckland to Goat Island).

*****DAY TEN (Friday, December 12th) - WANDERING AROUND WHANGAREI*****So, I effectively had a police escort to Whangarei this morning.  Chris Scahill kindly offered to drive me down there...so I was technically in a cop's car...just not one with sirens & all that jazz.  Anyway, i…

The dual cariageway north of Auckland didn't last for very long and we had a gentle drive up the East Coast, stopping at a random beautiful place that we found purely by seeing a blue "picnic" sign rather than anything in the guidebooks.  It was really very quiet and a lovely place to stop and…

Here are some pictures of my trip to New Zealand. I went to both North and South Island by rental car. Enjoy!!!

We prepared for our trip tonight by watching an exciting movie filmed in New Zealand in 2002, Whale Rider.

One of my best trips ever, where I met a lot of fun people and made lots of good friends!! And no, not all Germans are anxious to put their towels on the sunbeds first thing in the morning! More Text will follow.... I am not a big writer.....
