The "Big Smoke"

Yip, I'm in Auckland! I'm going on a 3 day tour of the top bit of the north island - Bay of Islands (144 islands!), Paihia, Cape Reinga (where the Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea crash together) where we'll go to hot springs, drive along 90 mile beach, sandboard down the dunes, possibly swim with dolphins, maybe experience the Excitor fast boat ride out to the famous hole in the rock, go kayaking, sailing, fishing, diving, snorkeling or just relax on the beach.
On the weekend I'm going away with Dodgey and his mates (played touch rugby with him and The Lads in London!) to the Coromandel: beach and booze = lovely!
So watch this space for photos and stories!
