New Zealand is a beautiful country, and I feel very lucky to live in it. A lot of the time we hear about the beauty of the South Island, but did you know that the North Island has so many beautiful spots too? Over summer I took a 'Road Trip' around parts of the North Island I had never visited, and it was awesome!
I visited Taupo, the Manawatu area and the Kapiti Coast, before spending two days in the Wairarapa with one of my best friends. It is this area that I want to tell you about. It was a gorgeous place to visit and drive through. The first night we stayed in Martinborough, a region well known for its wineries, and also home to the air show, "Wings over Wairarapa". In the nearby town of Greytown we did some shopping; it really was a cute town with lots of great clothes and gift type shops, girls!But the highlights of the area for me were the visits we made to two lighthouses. The first is at the very end of the North Island, at a place called Cape Palliser.

A little way along from Castlepoint is a little village called Mataikona. My friends have a beach house there and invited us to stay. What a peaceful evening it was, sitting on the deck looking over the ocean, eating kaimoana gathered that day, and enjoying good company.
I could write so much more about my holiday, but maybe this small slice of it will convince some of you to visit the Wairarapa.
