New Zealand North Island
Our New Zealand trip took place in March and April, 2019. We spent 5 weeks between the two islands, with about the same amount of time in both. We started with the North Island and covered a large area - almost to the northern tip and down to Wellington in the south, where we stayed before taking the ferry to the South Island. Captions below the large image. The gallery order is the journey we took around the island, with the exception of Auckland which we flew back to at the end of our trip, before flying home.

After leaving the Rotorua area, we headed south to Taupo and the Tangariro National Park. An area of 3 extinct volcanoes and a much more open area with fewer trees. The clearing weather after our first rain since arriving, gave us some interesting clouds and light later in the day when we did a walk from our hotel to the white silica falls.
