Delightful experience in the Far North

We recently visited New Zealand's Far North and a number of practices including Rawene, Moerewa, Kaikohe, Kerikeri, Russell, Kawakawa and Pahia.

The Far North boasts green, rolling countryside, beautiful seaside towns, an array of fruit crops and warm temperatures - it is sometimes referred to as the winterless north.
