A leisurely day of driving took us from the north of New Zealand to it's bustling capital.
We had breakfast near a beautiful lake, dried out our tent and organised our bags ready for handing the car back in a couple of days.
We drove through some lovely countryside with views over lakes, rivers and the sea. We stopped in Dargaville and visited the masts of the Rainbow Warrior that we visited a few days ago.
Another quaint place we stopped in was Paparo. There was a bush walk and a kids park sign that said, "Hey big people, we copy what we see. Keep this place smoke free!" We thought the sign gave a powerful message..
Even with directions, the centre of Auckland is a maze! We managed to find our accommodation eventually, right in the centre with amazing views of the city from the 18th floor.
