Journey to the Far North


Our latest holiday took us up to the Far North which had been recommended to us by numerous kiwis. On route, we stopped off at Kawakawa famous for its public toilet!




The toilets were designed by famous Austrian born artist Hundertwasser who lived in Kawakawa for the latter part of his life. This was has gift to the people of the town and now a popular tourist destination.



The next stop was the town of Kerikeri at the northern end of the Bay of Islands. The main focus of the town is the Stone House on the banks of the Kerikeri river. This was built in the 1830s and is the oldest stone building in NZ.



We also stopped to visit the nearby Rainbow Falls.
