Photos from our tour of the Northland area which lies north of Auckland. This was our shakedown cruise in "Stella the Starwagon" visiting many beautiful coastal areas in search of warm weather. The beaches were nice, but we never found the warm weather as this has been the coldest spring here in NZ for quite some time. Click on individual images for a larger view.

A bit rainy..but very green countryside
