Stop #07: Rotorua
Our five night stop in Rotorua was jam-packed with activity.

Stop #05: Whangarei
After our night at the top of New Zealand, we started backtracking south, heading for the Coromandel Peninsula.

Part of a “variety pack” of six Tuatara beers. I don’t remember at all what it tasted like, just that I finished off two of them before our kettle finished boiling.
Stop #04: Cape Reinga
After Paihia we spent the day driving all the way up to Cape Reinga, the northern-most tip of of New Zealand.
1812 IPA
My favorite beer so far. Very hoppy, lots of flavor and a kick like Goose Island.
