15th March - 17th March 2009
This morning we woke up with the dogs howling - great alarm!! hmmmm!! :/ we got to milk camembert and fred the pig and some other calfs which was pretty cool. we then left and started to drive up to Cape Reinga - Amazing place - this is where the two oceans meet - but we could see the line (which is how you can tell where they meet) went onto the 90 mile beach and then left to go down to Dargarville.
What a weird little place this is - this owner of the hostel looked about 200 yrs old and quuite scary looking (but it was a place to stay ) looked like a proper little hill-billy town lol.
On our way here we took a wrong turn! ooops! ended up going down a gravel track across the mountains with drops either side and then it turned into a dead end - aragh! When we got back onto the proper roads - we then drove to where the oldest Kauri Tree is... the girth of the tree was 13.5 meters - it was HUGE!! but me and Ellen almost walked straight past it...lol!
We got up early and ended up driving the 3 hrs back through to Auckland. We spent St Paddys day in auckland - we were standing outside the pub having a beer and a little Leprichaun walked past! HONEST!!!! a little man dressed in green! couldnt find the pot of gold though! :( next time maybe! We had a free Day trip and went over to the Auckland Harbour bridge - saw this guy do a bungee jump og the bridge which was crazy but so cool! he ran of the deck! eeek!
