Last blog from NZ! We are back in Auckland now and have just 1 more night left in NZ. I think we actually peaked a little too late in this country as now we are leaving, we have had a great last few days. The weather definitely seems to have settled down and has been sunny the last few days and what with White water rafting, mud pools, spas and massages the last few days have gone quite quickly. We were in Tauranga until yesterday afternoon where we meet up wit...
