.... is our next travel stage. More specifically, we're traveling by car from the Bay of Islands to Auckland and then flying to Sydney, where we will spend the next nearly two weeks.
Time for a summary of New Zealand: A completely new experience in such an unfamiliar country. The impossibility of booking a ferry from the North Island to the South Island ultimately turned out to be a fortunate circumstance .... for both islands, considering the distances, two weeks is definitely too little time. This gave us the chance to get to know at least the North Island a bit better.
Thank you for the wonderful experiences in this part of New Zealand, and enjoy viewing selected photos!
