After a few hours in the busy city, we decided to leave again. Don't get me wrong: Auckland is cool and has got a lot to offer, but after two months of being surrounded by New Zealand's amazing nature, it just didn't feel right to end our road-trip in the city. So, we drove up North to the Bay of Islands. Boy, i'm glad we did. Because it turned out to be Ben's & my favourite place in New Zealand! We both love the water and somehow Northland has got it all: breathtaking nature, stunning beaches, incredible sunsets...and the winter months are really mild! We spent some beautiful days up here! Soon I'll be off to Guatemala and Ben will do another housesit in New Zealand before we re-unite on the other side, in the States.... New Zealand - you have been incredible!
