Claire posing with our van, Sherpy. We pulled up next to this farm strip as a small plane was coming in to land. He had two attempts but decided against it for some reason. I was trying to get a picture with the plane in the background but he didn't come round again.
Claire refused to pose for this photo. This was where we parked up for the night at a lovely spot next to this waterfall at a place just in land from Paihia.
Me posing at the bow of our sailing boat. We had a trip round the Bay of Islands on a 30+ft yacht. Amazing scenery but not much wind.
The view from the top of a hill on the Island we stopped at for lunch. Our boat was the one with a mast closest to the camera.
Claire putting the poncho to good use at Cape Reinga. It was a 1km walk to the lighthouse on the point and even though the weather was really bad we had to go see it. It was too windy at the point to even get a picture of the lighthouse!
Sand boarding. Great fun! :D
An arty pic of the dunes we slid down. They're on the other side of the river so you can get some idea of the size of them.
The biggest tree I've ever seen! It's a Kauri tree which has some place in Maori history, I can't remember what now.
