End of the End of the World Trip - the final chapter (part 1).

On our way home from the end of the world, we pulled through this little village, Opononi which is famous for having a pet dolphin, Opo, in the '50s.  This dolphin was very friendly and would even make you a sandwich if you asked nice. 

Just down the road is NZs largest tree.  It's a Kauri tree named Tane Mahuta which means 'lord of the forest'.  Very old (~1200 y.o.) and large.

We also had the pleasure of sampling the 'best fish and chips in NZ' at the Mangonui Fish Shop.

As most of you know, I'm a bit of a F&C connoisseur.  I found the fare here to be unremarkable.  Even though the F&C wasn't that special, the company couldn't have been better.

There's no place I would have rather been in the world.
