birthday trip... sorry it took so long, kinda forgot about it lol

So my birthday was amazing!!!!

Sunset on the 13th
drivin again :) getting easier every time
there were so many rainbows both days but it was never horrible weather
May 14th, first sign of daylight
the sand dunes :)
the lighthouse from a far

looking right
looking north
looking left
about 200years ago a man swam to an island from this beach
beautiful sunrise
the meeting point of the tasman sea and the pacific ocean
all of a sudden the skies opened up and it started to rain, luckily the rain stayed over the water
adding in the sun created so many beautiful rainbows
the tree in the distance is the place where your soul walks into the underworld to the land of the souls



looking back after the sun was fully up

the sound of the whirlpools was almost deafening :)

That way to home :D






there were signs saying dont go that way but i really wanted to...










the rainbows

after the sun came up everything just started to glow








our little car. it was such a beast! it made it all the way north and got GREAT gas mileage and mastered some pretty wicked dirt roads
SHEEP!!!

The Bay of Islands






kinda that perfect picture of paradise right???



so we took a little nap in the sun it was so great to see sunlight with no wind for the first time in a while





Jordyn and I drove for a solid 12hrs. she was such a trooper to wanna go and brave this crazy trip with me. we left at 2pm on the 13th from wellington to Auckland and drove from Auckland straight to Cape, got to cape at about 1030pm and crashed in a hostel for 7hrs and got back in the car at 615am and drove the last half an hour to the look out, then at 9am we were back in the car driving back to Auckland. we made a few stops but not for too long because our flight left at 7pm out of Auckland the night of the 14th. we were on the run but we were havin a total blast :) I dont think ther could have been a better birthday
