New Zealand – lots of exploring still to do

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

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

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

Darryl’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.
