A wonderful holiday full of beauty, day and night - the Stars! And learning, memories for which Jan's place, the SC Studio and it's garden and sea view as 'centre' was... Perfect. I chose it because if the way Jan writes from the heart, her reality is fully congruent and even better. I chose Bookme for water and Cape Reinga bookings before I came. Jan was right it is definitely awesome to go with a Maori guide. I left space for the unexpected delights. Locals befriending me in Te Tii Beach taking me to their favorite coffee haunts, driving to Kawakawa and the Hokianga. Way out best? Russell by Ferry and dinner at the Duke for a perfect last evening. Thank you Jan for taking me, and, for all of it!
