New Zealand: North Island

New Zealand is composed of a few islands, although the North and South Island are by far the biggest and the most visited.  We were lucky enough to spent a month on each island as they are both unique and have a lot to offer.  If you are familiar with North American, it is said the North Island is a lot like the east coast of North America with its rolling hills, and the South Island is a lot like North America's west coast with its large mountains.  There was a similarity though - it rained a lot on both islands!
