Is it possible that the north gets better and better? Today ( and yesterday) have been one out of the box weather wise , just as I recall the north in years gone by, and when I would tease my husband about Northland, and the Hokianga in particular, was the Texas of NZ where every thing was bigger and brighter than the rest of NZ.
Well, today I have fallen in love with the North as never before – I’m into new territory and its stunningly, breathtakingly beautiful – if you have not been it’s time to come. No wonder the TV shows The Bachelor and Top Model use the area for some of their shows!
Delay no longer – grab a rental car from Rental Cars New Zealand, look up Destination Northland make some plans and get moving – maybe stop off at the Mangonui Library and check out my book, Naked in Budapest: travels with a passionate nomad, as I just donated them a copy – I’m a great supporter and user of libraries 
I’ll tell you about these places very soon … bookmark this page and come on back ,, in fact, even easier, sign up for an email when ever I blog – right now daily, but usually 2 or 4 times weekly. Now just few more pics …
