Farewell to Northland

After spending almost 4 wonderful months in wonderful "winterless" Far North and Northland, it was time to start our journey back down south.  We have absolutely loved our stay in this area and we hope to back next winter to do it all over again.  This part of New Zealand is just beautiful and we take with us many many special memories. 😄

We spent our last week in Whangarei and back at the campsite where our full time journey on the road started, Whangarei Central Holiday Park.

Parking over here for a while gave us time to see our Whangarei family again and also to make a change of tow vehicle.  Our Holden Colorado had been a fantastic vehicle which we loved very much but we just felt it was time to look at getting something with more power and grunt.  And so we are now the proud owners of a Ford Ranger 3.2.  And we are loving the change.  The Ranger is super comfortable and towed our Rockwood down to our next destination with ease.  So with our brand new Ranger and 4 month old Rockwood caravan we were ready to start our next adventure.

So where to next?
