New Zealand 2026 Travellog

Teresa and I spent some 3 weeks in NZ in January. Here are photos of our adventures. We spent most of our time in and around Pauanui Beach, but then also travelled to the Great Barrier Island. We were once again hit by a major rain storm with flooding, landslides etc. Still had fun.
