Our Far North Road Trip

To commemorate the occasion of two years of marriage we thought that this year we would explore a part of our country we have both never been to. And so the 6 day road trip happened, complete with boutique accommodation at a cute house in Whangaparaoa, toe-digging for cockles in the sand, long drives through the subtropical scenery of Northland, sipping freshly ground coffee on the deck at an impromptu visit to some dear friends, beholding the most stunning sunset at the most northern tip of New Zealand, Cape Reinga, driving around in the dark at 10pm to find a campsite (then setting up camp with a flashlight and a horde of determined mosquitoes , almost getting lost in the giant sand dunes of Te Paki, beautiful white sandy beaches and turquoise waters (sorry this list is getting long but I'm nearing the end, promise!), Indian curries for dinner on New Year's Eve, body surfing at Ocean Beach at Whangarei Heads and a fascinating visit to the National Clock Museum. Okay, enough talk...
