Sorry for the delay in Day 2, but we were off the grid. No wifi at the place we stayed and even though we have a SIM card, reception is spotty once you get out of the larger towns.
Today was mostly driving to a place called Hokianga up on the north west coast. Sleepy little beach town. The highlight was a stop at a place called the Kauri Museum, which is dedicated to the history of the Kauri tree. It's really a fantastic museum and it's huge. If you ever come here, it's a must do.
The Kauri tree lives thousands of years and is massive. We saw the oldest and widest living tree in the Waipoua forest. It's over 2,000 years old and is 17 feet wide. We did a walking tour with a local Maori guide and learned about the trees and some Maori history.
Had rain on and off for most of the drive.
