NZ Tour -- In Memory of Mike

Rawene to Paparoa through beautiful Opononi and Ōmōpere on the Hokianga, then on through the mighty Waipoua Kauri Forest.

Special stop in the forest to take a look at Tāne Mahuta (for some group photos as well). Late lunch at Dargaville before heading across the plains with the *best tail-wind ever* on our way to Paparoa.

We dodged the rain most of the day, except for the last 10km when it came down in buckets on and off. All dry and warm at the Motor Camp, and looking forward to a good dinner together.
