When we finally left Auckland last week we started heading north and stopped in a small coastal town called Orewa. We spoke to a lady in the tourist information there and she was really helpful, pointing out all of the good spots throughout most of the Northland. We stayed in Orewa for a few nights, really enjoying our campervan! On Friday we did a walk along the beach to a nature reserve which was nice but when we got to the end of the trail and hit the road that would lead back to the campsite, it was closed so we had to walk all of the way back the way we'd come! In the evening we went to Wawiera, about 10 minutes drive from Orewa where there are some thermal pools. The pools aren't natural but apparently the water comes directly from thermal springs. There were lots of different pools including a movie pool and a pool that was far too hot at 48 degrees! There were also some slides that we went on for a while until we all ended up hurting ourselves in one way or another so that put a stop to that!
