New Zealand Tour, 17th october to 25th October 2011, Northland, Auckland and Surrounds a Rugby World Cup Final, The Emirates A380 all the way from Auckland to Manchester.
Blog: Midwife Moira's Travel Blog. With Emirates Cabin Crew on the side. - 12 January 2012
Into our final week of our Rugby Tour it was time to head North. The SH 1 North was a good road, in no time at all we left the sprawl of Auckland, through the charming beach resort of Orewa and into the town of Whangarei. Heare we loaded up with food, wine & beer. As we had made good time we pushed on to the seaside town of Ahipara. The famous Ninety Mile Beach runs from the town of Ahipara to almost the top of the island. Ahipara’s other claim to fame is that it featured in the classic surfing film, ‘Endless Summer’.

New Zealand Tour. 13th to 17th October 2011. Whangamata, Auckland and Rugby Semi Finals.
Blog: Midwife Moira's Travel Blog. With Emirates Cabin Crew on the side. - 11 January 2012
Today, sick of the rain, our objective was to seek some sun. The weather forecast said that the Whangamata Cost was fine, so that’s where we went. Whangamata reminded me of the Natal South Coast, (South Africa) in the winter. It was a sleepy, laid back, surfing and finishing town. The beach was idyllic, a long strip of white sand. The surf breaks are good, but at the same time the sea is safe for swimming in. It was a relaxed, laid back, beach community. Perfect for a family holiday.
