Thanks to the fact that I could use a car I was able to have nice trip to Goat Island Marine Reserve. The first stop on the road was a beach in Orewa. Cool place, but that was just a beginning…

Finally in Goat Island Reserve. These are my first days with left side driving so the journey is still a little stressful. First view on the left…

Second view on the right… It is the Goat Island. Fabulous place for snorkeling and scuba diving. I hope to experience both during summer.

Ducks just like in Poland, but here every male has two wives… :-)

Some marketing. Nice, little waterfall. It would be beatifull if it wasn’t coming out of a pipe…

A nice look on a Great Barrier Island

I wish they have placed that sign at the beginning of the fence before I got shocked for the first time.

As You can see the Earth really isn’t flat.

At the end of the walk You reach Cape Rodney and a fabulous view opens in front of You.

A close-up to the rocks.

After a short rest at Cape Rodney, I headed further north to Pakiri Beach. On the way there, I have experienced something I didn’t expect in a civilized country. A gravel road. Again it was worth the effort…

Slightly dramatic image.

Really nice. It would be even better if it was summer and still as “crowded” as now.

A rainbow over Pakiri Beach. No, it wasn’t raining… There is just so much humidity.

That is me on my way back to the car.

Those flowers seem not to realize that it is the middle of winter.

And that is Puhai River falling into Hauraki Gulf.

One final look at the coast.

That trip was incredile. All that was within an hour drive from Auckland. I think I could really live here.
