New Zealand Continues...

The following  images are just some of the sights we've seen as we traveled, by car, on the North Island. They say a picture paints a thousand words. Having said that, I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story...

We have recently been working hard on the long list of boat projects and repairs that has grown quite long since we left Hawaii. If we are able to finish everything in reasonable time, we hope to take the car, by ferry, to the South Island in April. From everything we've heard, the South Island is where all the beauty is in this country.
