North Island Update Bonanza

Hello Tigger friends,

We've had a busy few weeks since we last posted, so here is an update bonanza for your procrastination pleasure.

A roadside view en route to Coromandel town, on the west coast of the Coromandel Peninsula...

Easy to find given the local signage...

And the magnificent Cathedral Cove on the east side of the peninsula...


Then onto Lake Rotorua, for a Maori concert and for Tigger to make friends with the locals...



And amazing (but somewhat stinking) thermal pools at Waiotapu...


We've seen waterfalls - some small...

...some big...

Onto the east coast in Napier where Monsieur Lapin enjoyed a wine tasting session...

And Tigger made some new friends...

We have enjoyed the spectacular views of Hawkes Bay from Te Mata Point...


But Billy (the Van) had to see the doctor a couple of times...

Onto Wellington, some impressive Maori artefacts and artwork at the Te Papa museum...



And Griff refined her impression of a Brown Kiwi...

Tigger and friend Erika enjoy some quality time together at Mount Victoria in Wellington...

Then onto the Wellington-Picton car ferry for our journey to the South Island, via the Marlborough Sounds...


And for the exciting species and wildlife update - a California Quail...

...and a Stilt...

That's all for now, but we'll update soon with pictures from the South Island. Also watch this space for a very special Christmas message from a very special tiger...

First Update - Northland

Well hello there!

Thanks for waiting so patiently for our first update. We've been struggling to get internet since arriving here and battling against outrageous pricing, old machines which can't take memory sticks, and a constant lack of internet cafes.

Less of that, and more about what's been going on.

First stop on the TiggerTour was Kuala Lumpur for our one-night stopover.
Stunning views over the city and the Petronas Towers were to be had from the KL tower.

We saw some mighty scary clouds from the plane...

And then onto Auckland, for volcano-spotting, and mushroom sitting.


And we would like to introduce you to Billy The Van, our beautiful (albeit small) home for the next 4 months.


First stop in our new mobile home was SheepWorld (Griff missing home a little) in Warkworth.


And onto the deserted beaches and clear night skies of Tawharanui Scenic Reserve...


...then the Bay of Islands, another rather pretty coastal spot.

We have been seeing all sorts of exotic wildlife...


...including the oldest Kauri tree in NZ (an impressive 2000 years).

Our tour of the Northland area of the North Island complete, we have now just landed in the Coromandel Peninsula.

Next update soon...

Love from Tigs, Neen and Rich.
