Not to be picky, but your pictures of The Bay Of Islands are a little off. So far so that I’m almost guessing there’s some in-joke going on there
The Cathedral Cove picture sure is making me home sick though. An absolutely amazing spot, well worth the trek through the bush to get to it. Useless trivia: it was used as a Narnia location in the recent movie.
My personal pick for New Zealand romantic spots: Opoutere Beach in The Coromandel. A beautiful, long, deserted, white sand, “clothes optional” surf beach. It takes a bit of a walk through the bush to get to it, but it’s well worth the reward.
@ Matt - hahah thanks for pointing out the problem with the NZ pics I have fixed it up now
thanks also for the travel trivia tidbits, hope you drop by and visit us again soon.
I sooooooooo want to go there!
what about croatia?
Anywhere would be nice if only I had a gorgeously handsome, financially secure, respectful guy with no hang-ups who could take me away from this constant work, work, work for a luxuriously romantic, being waited on hand and foot holiday that I so desperately deserve !!! Hmmm, I guess I shall just have to carry on dreaming…………….
