Over the past 2 weeks its been fantastic having my brother James over visiting following a trip to the States. The next series of photos are from our recent travels across the North Island.

I managed to take 6 precious days out from work amidst a busy time preparing for the week of community action, to head out on the road and show James some of the sites of the North Island, as well a few days down in Wellington to meet Mieke & the Watsons

- most of the photos are courtesy of James' new camera (and so sadly he doesn't feature in many!)
