Our tour North of Auckland

On our first tour outside of Auckland, we headed north and saw some great landscapes:

Goat Island
On the Way
Mhangarei Heads
Our first Backpacker's: The Little Earth Lodge
The Abbey Caves were close to it, so we thought we can just go there - we did not expect to climb down in actual caves, completely on our own!

Kleines Special für unsere Agro-Fans

The Whangarei Falls: Our travel guide names these falls the "Paris Hilton" amongst NZ waterfalls - the most photographed one, but by far not the most impressing one!

The Hundertwasser Loo: Who would have thought we would use a loo here that was designed by an Austrian architect?! Well, Hundertwasser lived here in NZ for a long time and is also burried here.

The Hurara Falls

Overnight cruise on "The Rock": This was one of the experiences where we had most fun so far. We stayed on this huge house boat (was a car ferry before) over night. We did all kind of activities as you will see on the pics ...

Cape Reinga: The (almost) most Northern point of NZ. The Maori believe, here's the point where souls "go over" to live after live.

Great experiences were the impressive Kauri trees in Waipaua Kauri Forest and the Kauri Museum.

After this trip we returned to Auckland for a few days, then went on to Coromandel Peninsula - pics follow soon!
