After a really nice passage, we arrived in Opua, rented a car, and spent nearly two weeks visiting our old favorite spots. It felt great to be back in beautiful New Zealand, one of our favorite places in the world.
As Rich stated before, we’ve had a change of plan and are making a long trip to the south island instead of a short one. This means we’ll spend the next month or so heading down the east coast of the north island.
This has given us a chance to do some things we missed during our first two seasons here, heading to some less mainstream destinations while making our way to Waiheke Island, were we’re sitting out some windy weather before continuing our journey south. Below, a few photos from our trip so far.
Now that we’re here, Rich will take over writing about our current travels, and I’m going to pick up where I left off in the blog and see if I can do some catching up this season. –Cyndi
