After the wedding, myself and Ciarán joined Sinéad and Gavin, their sisters and some friends for five days of swimming and barbequing five hours north of Auckland in Doubtless Bay. It is a beautiful part of New Zealand with some amazing beaches and the sunshine made it perfect for relaxing (although most of this active bunch were up running, cycling and/or swimming bright and early each morning!).
We drove up to windy Cape Reinga, the northern tip of the country where you can see the Tasman Sea meeting the Pacific Ocean.
and we also went sea fishing - even though I was the least experienced fisherman of the group, I somehow caught the most fish, while Gavin's sister Deb caught more of the tasty snappers.
Then it was back to Auckland, via the site of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, to celebrate Sinéad's 30th birthday. It was a fun week - now time for the South Island.
