We're on the road!

Slept late yet again, by the time we got up it was time to check out and pick up the car. Thought it was going to be a nail but it is not bad - an automatic though so it took us a while to get going!

We headed north, towards the Bay of Islands, stopping at some waterfalls on the way.

Some of the towns we drove through look like they are straight out of western films.

Ended up in Paihia in a motel which overlooked the bay and found a little Thai place for tea - couldn't ask for more!
