In the morning I had a nice chat with some New Zealanders. One older couple sold everything, bought a camper-van and now they are just travelling around. After the chat I left for
Waipoua Forest, to see some of the biggest trees of the country.
 |
| No work, NO TV, No Worries..."Yeah Right" came afterwards. Sell everything and travel! |
 |
| New model of chainsaw, that would probably fit my friend Jurko |
Important notes
 |
| Yakas, named after Dalmatian Nick Yakas, a kauri gum digger, was my first tree I visited and is the 7th largest, in the country. You can also see Tuši at this photo. |
Te Matua Ngahere (Father of the forest) is the 2nd largest tree and a cluster of 4 trees joined together called Four sisters
 |
| Two red princesses |
 |
| And the largest Kauri tree in the country, Tane Mahuta (Lord of the forest), aged between 1250 an 2500 years, |
I continued on the great
SH12 road towards North, to
Ninety Mile Beach and
Cape Reinga. On Ninety mile beach I installed the camera on my motorbike and forgot to put the small backpack back to its place and so it was gone. Checked the place 4 times, but I guess someone must've took it. So some papers, cables and GoPRO Hero adapters were lost forever. Life goes on and so does this adventure.

| Exiting the beach at up Te Paki stream with sufficient speed for my cross bike |
 |
| Where to next? I guess it will be Bluff. |

| Sonja, you are one dirty motorbike |
