This morning we travelled from one side of New Zealand to the other - east coast at Paihia to west coast at Omapere. The weather was a very varied mixture of sunshine and showers, some of which were rather heavy.
Then we travelled through the Waipoua Forest and saw the largest tree in New Zealand - a 1200-year old Kauri tree (in the rain). Now we're just north of Auckland at Orewa - ready to tackle the Auckland motorway system tomorrow morning.
We might have to re-think the driving plan (especially the long day on Wednesday) as we don't seem to be doing the mileage (kilometerage?) that we thought we would.

Good morning/evening? You're certainly getting a lot of sightseeing in and the photo's so far are great, a far cry from APS support Clive!! Hope you're getting to experience some great food as well. Good luck with the motorway system!!!
