Lovin the kiwis!

It's been a while since our last post but not to worry, we're doing just fine. Thanks largely to the random acts of kindness from the genuine friendly kiwis we're meeting along the way. The people that we're meeting are fully supporting our adventure and are making it actually happen. We've had our water bottles filled up multiple times by locals, we've had rides in the back of utes, vans and cars to get us to the resupply city of whangarei, kind gestures have been offered for places for us to set up camp, we've even had a friendly guy in parua bay overhear our plight of needing to cross over the ocean between whangarei heads to marsden point who then proceeded to offer us a lift over in his boat! He went home, dropped off his groceries, came back with his boat and took us over and didn't want or expect anything in return!!! We gave him a bottle of wine as a gesture in return but it seemed dwarfed by the huge genuity of his. Our luck seems to be holding as even today we spoke to a woman in waipu cove who offered for us to stay at her place when she heard we will be free camping. Turns out she has a great house on top of a hill looking down into the bay and out to the ocean! I feel like we died in ratea forest and went to heaven especially when we walked through a nudist beach today!
