Dear Owner, please excuse the one-size-fits-all log, but we will try to summarize our experiences in a few words, which is almost impossible in this beautiful country.Our route took us from Frankfurt am Main via London and Hong Kong to Auckland, where we spent 3 wonderful weeks on the North Island of New Zealand. After spending the first two days at the other end of the world in Auckland to get used to the 12-hour time difference, we spent the rest of the time criss-crossing the island in our fantastic camper van. The nature and landscape here is simply uniquely beautiful. We drove a good 2500km, saw beautiful, lonely beaches, visited impressive waterfalls, were at the foot of a volcano, visited ancient trees and enjoyed the wonderful views of nature again and again. Of course, we also searched for, found and logged a few geocaches along the way, looked at geolgical features and tried to complete the owner's tasks. For us, it was an all-round perfect vacation that we will remember for a very long time and we will certainly come back here again if we can.Thanks to the owner and best wishes from Germany Fantalismus
Found with kre8ive while on holiday with family at the top 10 a while back. Took a few attempts at it but got there in the end. Tftc!
Quick overnight stop for a service on hubbys bike, while doing that I needed a run so thankfully packed my running gear and a pen and ran to find these caches managed a total of 13km before hubby picked me back up, thanks for the placement cache was in good order.
A quick find for hubby today once I explained it was a micro/nano. Out n about to fill in a dot day and another day towards the geocaching challenge for this month. TFTC.

A quick find by Talla64. We are on a short visit from Kapiti and enjoying the lovely weather. As the log was completely full we signed sideways between sections 32 and 33. Thank you for placing a cache here, it's an area new to us.

Decided to have an evening cache mission. This one was on the todo list. Quick find very similar to one we just completed down the road. Have been here in the summer time and it’s a lovely spot.
Staying at the resort nearby on a wild weekend… beach is spectacular. Nice quick find on a walk around the area. Thanks for the find.
On holiday in the camping grounds. Quickly found once I was on the right side of the road. Pen wouldn’t work very well but will try again with a decent pen. TFTC
Collected this one earlier today, on our trip out to Papamoa - straight forward find, thanks for the placement.
Came over from rotorua to look at a few things, once everything done we decided to grab a few caches, before we left the area. Not to many people around so was a nice easy find.
Thanks for the cache

While waiting for friends, we quickly logged this one thanks to some hints in the comments. Love those macros! And I think this is our first NZ cache to be logged! Yay!

Very cool find. Had to find a quick public toilet stop and low and behold a cache was nearby!
North Island Campervan trip Day 6
After the fantastic holiday I had a few months ago traveling around the South Island, making the most of one of those incredibly cheap campervan deals available at the time, I figured it was worth taking a week off work before the stresses of the usual holiday period to enjoy some of the delights to be found around the top of the North Island.
This would be a great chance for me to seek out some targeted caches such as the TMGT ones as well as some that would help me with my Jasmer grid, missing minutes (for a couple of challenge caches I'm working on) and any other caches that caught my eye.
With the wild weather, I had decided to play it a bit safe and spent last night in a Motor Camp in Tauranga. I was intending to head back down to Whakatane/Ohope and then start the journey back towards Auckland today, never quite knowing how far I'd get by the time evening rolled in, especially as it was a later-than-usual start for me this morning.
It's been quite some time since I was last in Tauranga and Mount Maunganui (about 11 years I think) and much of it I hadn't seen at all so it was good to have a bit of a drive around chasing caches to check the place out, in spite of the intermittent rain!
This was a nice straightforward find, thanks to the lack of muggles around today. There were no issues with the cache or the log, which was swiftly signed and everything returned exactly as found before I made my way back to the van to carry on with my journey.
Thanks for setting this cache up.
