Today, in bright sunshine, we visited the beautiful Treaty Grounds at Waitangi where the
Treaty of Waitangi between the British and the Maoris was first signed in the early 1840s. Afterwards we traveled further north to Kerikeri and then on to a point from where the most northerly point in all New Zealand,
North Cape, could be seen on the far horizon. Since returning to Russell tonight it has been
pouring with rain, making this place look and feel like Salcombe on a wet summer day! Tomorrow we travel south 150 miles to Thames in the Coromandel region of North Island, about 1 hour south and east of Auckland.
