We have had an amazing couple of days travelling around the North Island....some breath taking sights , saw our first Kiwi albeit in a bird rescue centre ...... As they are nocturnal it's highly unlikely we won't see any in the wild , been to some glow worm caves , some beautiful water gardens and now at Coromadel Peninsula with beautiful beaches.

Today we are in Auckland ..... A free day before we start touring.... We feel more human and less jet lagged. Auckland is called the City of Sails as its renowned for its harbour and boats .... Apologies for the photo as still haven't worked out how to rotate them on this blog and you can't blogg without a photo!! Hopefully I will find out and post some better photos
