Hello everyone,
Sorry we havent written on here in a while! we have been doing lots of driving in our campervan and its not very often we go to towns with internet cafes!
Well we have been up to quite a bit since last time we were on here, we rented out a campervan for the rest of our trip in new zealand and we are touring around the north island for 2 weeks ish then gooing to the south island! From Auckland we went right up north to the top of NZ! we drove right up through dargeville where we stopped at Baylys beach, and then we passed Kai Lwi lakes which had the most blue water you have ever seen and was just so beautiful! then we drove throughWaipoua forest. we headed up towards Kaitia and booked on a tour to drive up to cape reinga which drives back on the ninety mile beach! we had a go doing sand tabonning down huge sand dunes which was fun and drove on quick sand on the bus!
After the tour we drove down to Bay of islands and stayed in Paihia, we were here for a few days and we went horse riding in the hills one day, it was really fun and i did some cantering up a hill! i havent done it in a few years so it was quite painful the next day after clinging on so hard!
The next day we went on a boat trip to go and see dolphins and hopefully swim with them. but unfortunately we didnt get to swim with them because there was baby dolphins and it can disturb there feeding! but we got to see loads and they were so pretty!
Then back down to auckland to meet adam from work which was fun then we were heading south. we drove to the Coromandel and stpped off in some hot pools that are from the springs and was puremineral water! we have been in loads of them now - they are everywhere!
After Coromandel we went onto Tauranga and passed Waihi hot water beach and now we are at Rotorua. Yesterday we went to some polynesian spas and today we had the best day ever!!!!! WE WENT WHITE WATER RAFTING!!!! They were grade 5 rapids (the highest you can legally raft on) and we had a 7m waterfall drop!! AHHH! it was the scariest thing ever but great fun! then after next door they had some mud baths which were nice to relax in! we have some brilliant photos so check them out!!
see we have been busy! hee hee! well ill leave it there for now but remember to email us!
Miss you all, Lots of love Victoria and Matt x x x xx x
