Back to the North Island

So - we reached the end of our Soth Island adventure and what an adventure it was...some truly remarkable sights and some unforgettable experiences.

The flight from Queenstown to Auckland was on the brand new All Black plane. This is an Airbus (I think) specially painted in black to commemorate the 2011 Rugby World Cup being held in New Zealand. This is the first flight I've been on where you could (if you wanted to ) use your mobile phone!

We landed back in Auckland and then drove up to the North Shores to spend our final night in Gulf Harbour...:-(
