Big ground to cover today.. I'll organize these in a few days when I get to a town. Free camping till then. I'll probably be well past Whangamata tonight, then Waihi beach, and finally to the hot springs of Rotorua for a few days.

These photos haven't been organized yet... but there are some gems in there. Enjoy!

Can I just borrow that boat for a (long) minute?

Reminded me of Angels arch in Utah.. Thanks Dad

Can you see the art?

Can you see how much fun I've been having? Well worth the hours of paddling into the wind

Bonzai tree heaven. Thanks for the inspiration Alex

Navigating these submerged rocks was fun

My private beach

Hey little buddy

There's some guy up there yelling to me... Yea I'm feeling ya. This rocks!

That's all it took.

Back to life on the road.. Wow that was good!
