Our drive back home from Whatawhiwhi took us 13hrs, but we had a great day. Ethan was so tired he fell asleep in the car – which he never does!
First stop, the awesome Coopers Beach. We had only been driving 35 minutes but we already missed the beach!
Next we stopped in Kaeo for lunch and then headed to inner Northland for a quick visit with Aunty Florie and Uncle Stuart in Okaihau. Pics below are from Opononi – check out the huge sand dunes in the distance;
This is one of my most favourite pics ever!
The giant kauri forest was amazing, it was so worth the stop. The size of these trees just blows your mind, you try and spot them before you get to them but the forest is so dense they just appear right in front of you.
