Awesome where the Tasman and Pacific meet eh? So much to do--so little time. Dad was so glad to see the huge Kauri trees , NS and know you went to the museum!Enjoy your next road trip. Love Mum and Dad

Sounds Fun
I can't believe you went Sand Boarding! That sound so much fun! Oh and one of your pictures has a rainbow in it! (I studied them) It sound like you're having an awesome time, are you going to see the Great Barrier Reef? Anyway I think it's pretty unbelieveable... :) -Dylan
