Whangaparaoa

 Wow!  We made it to New Zealand - such a treat to get to see Reeve and Marilyn, see their nice apartment and get to enjoy some of the experiences in Auckland.  We made our way on Sunday to see Judith and Nigel Cooper at their beautiful place an hour north of Auckland.  

They took us down to the regional park, saw the beach and a whole lot of beauty just within walking distance.  Nigel takes the ferry across to Auckland each day - quite the picturesque setting!
