Drove south from Mangonui. We arrived in Waitangi at midday. Waitangi is the birthplace of New Zealand. On February 3, 1840 the Maori tribes and the British government signed a treaty. With this treaty, the native Maori tribes became part of the British Commonwealth. We toured the Maori Meeting house, very ornate. We also looked at the large Maori canoes. Leaving Waitangi we continued our drive south toward the Bay of Islands, a scenic vacation spot where we stopped and had lunch. We at arrived at the Taylors home in mid afternoon.
