Rainbow falls
30 января 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 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 forestЧитать далее
Kerikeri walking track
30 января 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 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 января 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 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 chickensЧитать далее
Piahia
30 января 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 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 aЧитать далее
Cable Bay
30 января 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 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 andЧитать далее

Cape reinga
31 января 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ 🌙 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,Читать далее
Giant Sand Dunes
31 января 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
A very very very hard hike to see sand. Jasmine = unimpressed.
Access road to Ninety Mile Beach
31 января 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 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 wildЧитать далее
Houhoura honey bee
31 января 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 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 beenЧитать далее
Ninety mile beach
31 января 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 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 января 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 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 beЧитать далее
Maganaka gorge reserve
31 января 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 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 января 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 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 littleЧитать далее
Red Beach Holiday Park
31 января 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 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 herЧитать далее
Pokeno
1 февраля 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ⛅ 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 likeЧитать далее
Zealong tea estate
1 февраля 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 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 orЧитать далее
Hamilton gardens
1 февраля 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ⛅ 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 worryingЧитать далее
Glenview social club
1 февраля 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ 🌙 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 февраля 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☁️ 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 goЧитать далее
Kuirau park
2 февраля 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ⛅ 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 IЧитать далее
Sulphur point
2 февраля 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ⛅ 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 hadЧитать далее
Rotorua thermal holiday park
2 февраля 2020 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ⛅ 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'sЧитать далее
