New Zealand, North Island

That's us in Wellington, in the North Island of New Zealand! Everything is going fine so far, we've got a little camper and we've stayed in it for most of the nights so far. We're heading down to South Island tonight on the ferry and everyone says it is much colder so we will need to see how it goes, might have to check ourselves into a hostel more often!

We went up to the Bay of Islands, looked around Auckland, went to Waitomo Glowworm caves and on to New Plymouth yesterday, where we saw Mt Taranaki.

I've uploaded my photos so far to flickr. Not taken very many as what we have seen so far hasn't been all that impressive. Hoping the South Island will be more scenic and we are planning to go past Rotorua and Lake Taupo on the way back to Auckland [we come back to the North Island on the 31st July] which should be really good.

Must go and put a new parking ticket on the camper!

Your NZ photos dont have the blue skies that we are used with in your Aussie photos.
Very grey here today but nothing to the rain they are having in England.
