Keri Keri, New Zealand

Spent the night at Keri Keri which is Northland . Very like Scotland as we travelled up country towards the Bay of islands. Waitanki day which commemorates the signing of the Treaty with the Moirai. This morning stopped at Matauri Bay where I actually swam in the Pacific . Heaven !!

Passed through the Waipoua Forest on the West coast saw the oldest recorded Kauri Tree Tane Mahuta about two thousand years old. Impressive. Then a campsite by the river complete with guided night walks.

Sun shining again, went up to lookout over town first, then a walk on the harbour . Early lunch then off to Okara Park for the cricket. Found a suitable place in the corporate area !!! (Hope you are impressed Michael) PS NZ won in the final over with the last ball of the match.

Later heard England where playing today and tomorrow against New Zealand in two one day friendly cricket matches. So went along today for free and have tickets for tomorrow. Tonight went back to Dyer Street where Dave was able to join Whangarei District Brass for a blow. The MD gave us a CD with Band and choir together , magic !!
