The Bay of Islands a stunning place even through the drizzle. We were hardy Brits and enjoyed the rain! Above - spot the seals!
     
Down on the farm in Putamaki:    
 
We stayed with Jacquie for 3 days on her parents farm in Putamaki. I got a handle on the country ways and gave this sheep her last cuddle - when they said they were going to slaughter it, I thought they'd wait until I left the farm at least!!! Her remains were in the pig pen the next day.
     
Mt Edgecumb:    
 
NZ really was the land of the long white cloud, it was even coming out of the ground - Waikite Valley Thermal Pools.
     
Wai-O-Tapu Sulphur Lakes:    
 
The sulphur lakes are very beautiful and interesting, and you could eat a curry the night before and no one would notice.
