The Beauty of the Far North
Family, that is what life and love is all about. Family is not always blood related or even marriage. Family can mean absolutely anything these days, as long as love, loyalty, commitment and respect is involved.

Fishing is such a big part of staying up North. Especially if your host is a local fisherman.
Some uncles are for fishing and some uncles are for wrestling.
The wonderful thing Up North, near Whangarei is that you are so close and involved with nature and no-one missed an xbox, tv or mobile phone.
