My wife Joellyn and I just got back from eleven days in New Zealand. We spent most of the time north of Auckland near Whangarei. We toured around most of the northern part of the North Island.NZ is the type of place most people say "I'd really like to go there." Maybe the pictures below will give you a better idea.
You may notice it looks like Hawaii but I would add the climate is a little cooler than Hawaii in this part of New Zealand.
This picture is right off the 12 hour plane ride, driving through Auckland morning rush hour on the wrong side of the road and the wrong side of the car. Oh yeah, this is gonna go well...
