Andrew and Rebecca Brown talk about thier NZ travels in their blog...
Tutukaka, a couple of hours drive North of Auckland, is where we caught our dive boat, Calypso, to the Poor Knights Islands.
Offers of Help for Robbed Tourists
Two German tourists have been shown a nicer side to Whangarei, after their van and belongings were stolen. The Poor Knights Islands certainly were a highlight, and the warmth of the people on the Tutukaka Coast made a difference with the genuine response showing Northland's real manaakitanga (hospitality and respect).
"It's a mix of hospitality and karma. If my daughter was in trouble somewhere I'd like to know someone was looking after her."
