Northlands

We tried to visit the Nocturnal Park (where night and day are reversed so you see the nocturnal Kiwi bird).

Unfortunately, they were closed for the day.

After that, we continued down the west coast and found some cats making a home near some cannons. I'm not sure what is crammed down the left cannon's muzzle.

Some more spectacular west coast scenery. [1600x1200]

A fisherman. [1600x1200]

A wacky scarecrow at one of the Northland winery vineyards.

Our rental car, which we affectionately named Itti-Ma-Nui (pseudo-Maori for small white car with lots of horses), taking a rest while we took the ferry.
