Unsworth Heights

We drove back to Auckland. Les and Keith, who we stayed with at the start of our journey, were happy to host us again. It was great to have a place to recharge, even after only 10 days on the road in Northland. But man, those 10 days had been packed full of cool adventures.

Les and Keith were patient, hearing out all our stories. And it was great hearing about their NZ experiences, their work and their own travel plans. They gave us more great tips about the rest of the country and even helped us searching for jobs, especially in wine-country (Napier/Hastings and Marlborough) ;)

It was really nice for us to eat luxuries food, be able to do laundry, get on wifi (Skype!), recharge electronics, and a hot shower! But really, who needs to shower, when you can swim in the ocean around every cove?

They set us off again on our journey, highly recommending us to see the Coromandel peninsula. It's the number one destination of Aucklanders, so it must have something going for it. We would soon find out!Read more
