In the far north of New Zealand we walked Rerewa B In the far north of New Zealand we walked Rerewa Beach. Our walk was a reminder of the cruelty of nature as we spotted a very large headless turtle and a tiny penguin dead on the beach. We informed our hosts when we returned home and they called the conservation department to come and remove the turtle, possession of a turtle shell is illegal in New Zealand and this one was a beauty that I’m sure someone would have loved to claim.

Russell, NZ-We stumbled upon Christ Church, the ol Russell, NZ-We stumbled upon Christ Church, the oldest surviving church in New Zealand and one of the country’s most significant heritage sites. The surrounding cemetery is as much of an attraction as the building itself, serving as a resting place for many notable figures from New Zealand’s early history. Wandering among the headstones we found the final resting palces of early settlers, mariners, and powerful Māori leaders. Most notably, we stood at the grave of Tāmati Waka Nene, the influential Ngāpuhi chief and key British ally whose signature on the Treaty of Waitangi changed the course of the nation.
