Headed to Auckland!

I have been granted a vacation. Sooo, I am headed to Auckland and the Northern part of the North Island. Biking, hiking and touring for a few days then a short trip to Sydney, Australia. I hope to tour the Opera House and do the bridge climb. Next update should have pictures from my adventure! Caron, Scott, and Little Owen are on vacation also. They are in Australia now.
We have a new doctor with us for 6 months. Her name is Laura. She is from Minnesota. She loves hiking, biking, and just about anything outdoors. We hope to tour most of New Zealand while she is here.

Well I finally found time to explore more of New Zealand this past weekend. I have been working continuously since Christmas.
My travels took me to the Southern tip of the North Island--Cape Palliser beautiful vulcanic rocks, black sand beaches, seals in the wild, lighthouse, surfers, boats, and two days of wonderful sunshine and hot (low 80's) temps. Also a short visit to wine country and small town of Martinsbough. Stocked my wine cabinet! Cheers!
