Back Down to Auckland

Jun 5th. It is time to leave the Bay of Islands and say goodbye to some nice people we have met - we head back down the West coast back to Auckland where we will be staying with Martins relative for a couple of night - then Martin leaves for Fiji then the UK while I am staying on in NZ till the 22nd. We drive down to the Waipoa Kauri Forest which features some huge examples of these monstrous trees that some are in excess of 2000 years old. The God of the Forest is massive - 11 metres in diameter and also the four sisters are impressive to have 4 trees so close together - there root structure is on top of each other. We get down into Auckland and arrive at the correct address (despite some slightly dubious directions!) and are treated to some home cooking. Sweet As bro.
