Ollie and Russ have been busy.

 It’s Ollie and Russ here. We have been doing so much exploring this week. We went to Waitangi on Monday and then came to a place called Hohoura which is really far north. We are staying at a camping ground where there are people fishing and catching snapper just off the beach. Today we went to Cape Reinga and learned about the Māori spirits leaving here to travel back to their ancestors homeland in the pacific. It was such a sunny day we could see the Three Kings Islands. 


There are some giant sand dunes up here at a place called Te Paki. We had so much fun going down them on our body boards. They are so steep and high and we went so fast.

Giant Gumboot by Ollie


My family and I are doing a road trip in the North Island. On the way to Taupo, we stopped in Taihape and saw the giant gumboot. We had a bit of trouble finding it. When we found it, we took this photo.

We have done a lot of looking around the North Island and have seen so many new things. Now we are in Kerikeri staying at our friend’s house for a couple of weeks and we plan on getting out on the water and seeing the Bay of Islands.

We are also going to visit Waitangi and Russell and do some camping when the weather is good. It is so much warmer here than at home in the South Island.
