around the tip... of the north

We headed on to Waipu cove where we got a campsite after driving around aimlessly with no plan that day.  We were tired and worn out from the day and ready to get going fresh the next mornning up north further.  We had plans to see the Bay of Islands but somehow missed the turnoff and hit Kerikeri isnstead and saw the oldest rock house, a park, waterfall area and walk.  Some of these small town are so quaint and adorable.  Kerikeri seemed like a surf town sort of by some of the shops and some guy I overheard had been out earlier that day, I cannot imagine the wind and trying to surf in that.
After Kerikeri we headed off and before we knew it we were at the deciding point to drive to the very northern tip of NZ or head back on down the East coast of the Nothern reagion. We drove on down andopted to save the gas and driving for making our way back south. We saw 90 mile beach but there was no way to possibly consider an ATV in the weather.
We were getting close to where we had to take a ferry across at a straight and it would have been closed down for the night. We found a farm where they had a cute area setup for campervans, basic and just a place to park off the road for $10.  Our own cows as our wake up call, and watchdogs around the farm, very cute.
