Rotorua to Auckland, New Zealand

We drove onto Auckland, stopped at a Maccas for coffee, muffin and the internet, stocked up on supplies then continued north.  The Auckland Motoway was still stop-start at 10:30am ( they must start work later here?) which reminded us too much of home. We would be back to Auckland before we flew out so wanted to get further up the coast. Select the photo below to see more Auckland beaches - Orewa Beach and its paddle board riders.
