Our way back to Auckland lead us through Omapere, a sleepy little town on Northland’s west coast. We stayed overnight in a very cosy and relaxed backpacker, met friendly people and played some Monopoly (in the Kiwi version of this game you get 100NZ$ income when you pass GO – I was only used to the old german version with DM-prices, Schlossalle, etc..) To come to headline of this diary-entry: we had also had a couple of Heineken at the beach and watched yet another lovely sunset.
