My last day of my travels in Northland . . . only two things left to do: check out the Pad Thai restaurant, and go to Matakohe for the famous Kauri Museum tomorrow.
Today I had a pen made for me out of beautiful kauri, visited a paper maker, met Ernie and his kumara (great) and tonight I’m staying at the fabulous old Commercial Hotel B&B which was built by, or for, John Logan Campbell.
As it’s the end the journey, my energy level is low so tonight its links for you to check out and more photos than usual to make up for the lack of words! 
But stories will follow I promise
