NZ trip: Gannets etc.

We decide to head over to Piha, on the west coast, in the Waitakere Regional Park, but just before reaching the Auckland Harbour Bridge notice that it is jam-packed with cars, so we decide to go north (and west) to Muriwai Gannet Colony.

The Gannet Colony is pretty cool, and I took lots of photos of birds taking avantage of the wind.

[putting links in is taking too long, hopefully we'll fix it up later]

On the way back to Auckland, we went along the Scenic Road through Waitakere Regional Park. Lots of good views.

On our return from Auckland, uncle Jack came over, as well as Tony's mother Ila (sp?). Photos of John (Jo's son), and a bumble-bee.
