Waipu NZ (north island)

The sun is out again in full force, sorry dont mean to rub it in!!! What a nightmare...to get upto the northlands we had to drive through Auckland, oh god havnt seen so much traffic since we left home, we was litterally stuck in Auckland for 2 1/2hrs, we was just crawling along most of the way! Eventually made it to our hostel at 1800!!! Nice little hostel, met some different people??? Only stayed the one night off to Paihia today!
