I bought a NEW work vehicle and decided to take it for a Roadie. It was about time! The Man, myself and RosyG all fitted nicely into the vehicle. Cape Reinga was the destination with unique places in between Waipu, Waitangi, Cooper's Beach, Ahipara, Matai Bay, Mitimiti, Pungaruru and Waipoua Forest to mention a few.

So we stopped in Kawakawa to visit the Hundertwasser toilets there and to walk around and take some lovely photos. Then off to Waitangi to walk and read up on our history. What an amazing piece of land there. We stayed at Coopers Beach in San Marino, right on the waterfront and pet-friendly.

The next day was our third full day on the road, We were heading to where Dame Whina Cooper lived Pungaruru which is on the way to Mitimiti.
