New Zealand – lots of exploring still to do

Monday, March 10, 21:25 (our itinerary)

When we board the plane home on Friday, thereโ€™s going to still be so much that weโ€™d like to have done, but weโ€™re trying hard to keep in mind that weโ€™ve seen and done more than we dreamed possible a few years ago. Hereโ€™s a quick look at yesterday and today:

This is the best dolphin view we got, and it just lasted a split second.

Darrylโ€™s Dinner Cruise at Paihia was a lot of fun and the food was excellent.

The site where the document that essentially formed New Zealand was signed by Maori and British representatives in 1840 was a must-see.
