Rainbow falls
30. Januar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
A really special hike in Kerikeri. Both Sam and Donna told us this was spectacular but it was more beautiful than we had imagined. Something I find impressive in NZ is the dedication to forestWeiterlesen
Kerikeri walking track
30. Januar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Supposedly this was a lovely walking track with 5 waterfalls but we walked for 40 minutes and saw no waterfalls. Good exercise for us and great nap for Florence.
Haruru falls
30. Januar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Following our Kerikeri hike we went and bought some groceries and then headed to Piahia to have a picnic at Haruru falls. Jason and I loved the beautiful shade and Florence loved that wild chickensWeiterlesen
Piahia
30. Januar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Just a quick stop for groceries and mileage and an attempt to find drinking water. This town is right on the water and seems a bit like Wasaga (but prettier). If we were coming again we would plan aWeiterlesen
Cable Bay
30. Januar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
This was a spur of the moment stop to stretch our legs and take in this beautiful beach. We were stunned by how gorgeous it was when we drove by. The day was sitting around 33C and we were all hot andWeiterlesen
Cable bay store

A late evening stop for ice cream before heading to our airbnb. Because we can.
Cape Reinga

Really beautiful sunset where the Pacific meets the Tasman sea.
Cape reinga
31. Januar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ 🌙 19 °C
A stunning morning. We woke up at 5 and packed up from our airbnb in the dark to head right north. Cape Reinga is the furthest north you can go in NZ. We saw the sun starting to rise on our drive,Weiterlesen
Giant Sand Dunes
31. Januar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
A very very very hard hike to see sand. Jasmine = unimpressed.
Access road to Ninety Mile Beach
31. Januar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
This road was a disaster😂 it was so bumpy and loud but Florence slept right through it. We also got to see some "famous" wild horses on the access road (just an area that is well known for wildWeiterlesen
Houhoura honey bee
31. Januar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Roadside stalls are everywhere and so far seem to have the best food. After Cape Reinga we pulled over here and got flat whites, real ice cream with real berries and some "pies" for lunch. We've beenWeiterlesen
Ninety mile beach
31. Januar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Ninety Mile Beach is a beach you can drive along or access at a few different points. The beach was sturdy today so we went for a drive. It was stunning.
Maganuka
31. Januar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Random stop to stretch our legs and get some air. This stretch of road was curvy and Jason drives quick and I was definitely getting car sick, but he says it was very fun to drive. NZ also seems to beWeiterlesen
Maganaka gorge reserve
31. Januar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
We pulled into this little site to set up for lunch and cool our feet in the stream. Florence is hating water on this trip and kept trying to force me back into my sandals.
The busy bean
31. Januar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Another little pull off to stretch our legs. We definitely planned too much driving yesterday. Florence started getting squirelly and sweaty and we were both tired from our early start. This littleWeiterlesen
Red Beach Holiday Park
31. Januar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Our first night in an official holiday park! Laundry, showers and a homemade sandwich were all on the agenda. Florence LOVED that there were ducks trying to steal her food, until one DID steal herWeiterlesen
Pokeno
1. Februar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
A sleepy baby meant we didn't make ourselves breakfast and then we were starving. We pulled over for one restaurant, but it ended up being closed so we went to what I thought was going to be likeWeiterlesen
Zealong tea estate
1. Februar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
I like breweries, but I love tea and this stop was completely selfish. A ....teaery? Tea estate? Tea field? That started in 95 with just a few plants and is now massive. You can sign up for tours orWeiterlesen
Hamilton gardens
1. Februar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
We had plans to do a lunchtime river cruise with kiwi bbq but Florence had not slept and was miserable and we didn't want to be those people on a boat for 90 minutes, or stress ourselves out worryingWeiterlesen
Glenview social club
1. Februar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ 🌙 20 °C
We are all tired and I have heat hives and it's just a hot and sticky night. We ordered Indian takeaway and are curled up in our van watching the Office and drinking Good George beers.
Ronnie's Cafe
2. Februar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Our search for good drinking water continues, and our camp made coffee tasted terrible so we pulled into this little place to grab more. It was affordable and delicious. Jason loves that all the to goWeiterlesen
Kuirau park
2. Februar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
After a long drive we arrived in Rotorua and our first stop was Kuirau Park - a free park in the middle of the city that features various geothermal features. Florence liked the birds, Jason and IWeiterlesen
Sulphur point
2. Februar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
With time to kill before our check in at the holiday park we went to the waterfront and explored Sulphur Point. It is a miracle Florence didn't get eaten by birds. Just behind us in the park we hadWeiterlesen
Rotorua thermal holiday park
2. Februar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
We checked in and were delighted with the amenities at our park. Kitchen, bathrooms and laundry for every 10 campsites or so, plus beautiful geo thermal pools to relax in. Both my nerves and Jason'sWeiterlesen
Tamaki gathering place
2. Februar 2020 in Neuseeland ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Tonight's big event involved two bus rides, a short movie, a Maori event and a feast. We started off with trepidation but all survived.
