Lush green land of the kiwis!

The air is cleaner, the grass greener and all my senses are intensified many times.... the North Island is so pretty. The first day I went to drive around west Auckland with a lovely kiwi couple, just amazing, the light was perfect in the late afternoon when I arrived. Their house has a back garden consisting of serene mangrove forest, what I wouldn't kill to have a place like that (oops don't quote me on that haha). First day was a good day :o)
