The last two weeks have been amongst the beaches and bays of the Northland Region of New Zealand. This area stretches from just north of Auckland to the  most northern point at Cape Reinga.

The weather has been absolutely perfect with all sun, a cool breeze, and temperatures in the mid 70s F.

The first stop was in the coastal city of Whangarei. The Maori pronunciation of the letter combination “wh” is a “f”.

We explored several walking trails, a water fall, and about half a dozen different bays along the coast.
