Whangarei
One of the biggest cities in northland (the part of New Zealnd which is northern than Auckland), here you can find the picturesque Whangarei Falls is 26.3 metres high and falls over steep basalt cliffs, The two viewing platforms above the waterfall give spectacular views of the falls.
The Bay of Islands is an area in the Northland region of the North Island of New Zealand.
It is one of the most popular fishing, sailing and tourist destinations.
In Paihia town as usual we covered 2 view points and 1 waterfall, we are so full of it since looking at the same views over and over again, no doubt it's was very beautiful, but we couldn't see anything that was special in those places, kind of like: "been there, done that..."
for those who traveled in New Zealand and heard about Omri, it is worth to mention we met him at his so called "backpacker" and had a "nice conversation" (better to say a debate) about HIT etc...
A little bit of history: at Treaty of waitangi we finally found that unique place we were looking for, it has a great deal of history for the locals here, it was very interesting to explore it and learn a piece of history for a change.
This is a treaty first signed on February 6, 1840, by representatives of the British Crown, and various Māori (native land people) chiefs from the northern North Island.
the English and Māori language versions of the Treaty differ significantly, and so there is no consensus as to exactly what was agreed to, it caused some problems between the 2 sides, but generally it seems that two of those ethnic groups were able to solve their problems along the years.
House of Treaty:
Have fun,
Efrat and Yoni.
