Two islands - so close together - and each one so different!! The North Island - has beauty that is totally different to what we have seen on the South Island. Our trip here was planned so that we would be able to spend time with Roger and Joyce (friends who had worked with us in the UK). It was good to see where they live and to have them show us around a VERY tiny bit of this "mysterious" part of the world. Take a look at just some of what we have been fortunate enough to experience.
