Up and out: Shell checked out the Waitangi Treaty site while I walked the Haruru Falls trail. It BUCKETED down the whole way...so the falls were pumping, plus the trail included an Indiana Jones bridge and boardwalk through the mangroves, feeling like walking on water. Visited another water fall at Whangarei, where we could walk the loop trail and stand on a bridge right in front of them. Then came a long drive passed Auckland, through heavy traffic, to Whitianga. We also found out that Cyclone Cook is due to hit tomorrow night, and the guy in the takeaway shop's words were "If I were you I would get out of town as soon as you can"...ahh, we'll leave tomorrow ;)
