A journey through New Zealand in February and March 2013
Day 1 - a 35 hour journey to arrive at a festival of light in Auckland...
...and after a deep deep sleep a beautiful day and a ferry crossing to Devonport...
...followed by a bus to Thames and a hike up to the Coromandel Pinnacles...
...with abandoned kauri dams...
...beautiful wilderness...
...stunning views from the summit...
...
...
...and a night in the best campsite ever...
...with the best pancakes ever waiting for us in Coromandel town...
...and a rain forest railway...
...I've shrunk!...
...tropical beach...
...and then a volcano (still smoking!)...
...
...crossing the Tongariro crater...
...
...to the Emerald Lakes...
...home for a few days...
...and en route to Wellington and the ferry to South Island...
