The following photos were taken on our trip back home in Dec - Jan 2001

We spent a couple of days looking around the Coromandel Peninsula, a boat trip to Waiheke Island and a great afternoon at Maharangi Regional Park (north of Auckland, south of Leigh).  Included is a shot of some Christmas lights at Temple View.
