Hello everybody,

we, a german couple just arrived in Auckland on Tuesday. The last days we put together our bikes (Africa Twin and Transalp), which we shipped here from Germany.
We got 3 1/2 months to discover your beautiful country. If some of you would be interested to get in contact with us, we would be happy.
Now we just left Auckland heading north.

So long
Gerd and Kundry

Thanks for your answers. We are still in Takapuna and it is still raining. We try to get on the bikes and hit the road to Whangarei. (Mostly on the left side :)

What is there to see & do in Whangarei?
Don't dip below 30kmh in the Main Street or you will get your panniers stolen.:bleh:
