Still North-Bound

Since leaving Paihia, we have been heading north along the coast. We spent last night in a quaint beachside village called Whatuwhiwhi - it seems most place names are Maori, so they are difficult to pronounce and hard to remember!

We have been doing wine tours of northland vineyards and have been trying to chase the good weather. Rain blows in in a matter of minutes, it seems, however it is usually gone in under an hour.

We are now heading across to the west coast of the northern penninsula, and are hoping for some sun so we can do quad biking, sand surfing, hiking, and whatever else the north has in store for us.

Here's an updated map of where we've been:



And here we are on the beach in Whatuwhiwhi - not missing our jobs at all!
