Beginning a ROAD TRIP !!! 

Landslide two days before our departure. Road closed and only opened a path for ten min. every hour for "locals" to pass. 

Heap a sheep... no wolves here. 

New Zealand's Mt. Edgecumbe. It is for real and located in the Bay of Plenty. 

Approaching Auckland. The sky tower is our point of reference in navigating the city. 

A peak at the sky tower from under the overpass. 

I wonder why they call Auckland the city of sails.... (duh) 

"Whangarei Heads" off in the distance. 

"Ya see that?"
"What!"
