The trip was pulled together quickly as an alternative to our planned trip to Fiji, when political unrest caused us to change our plans at the last minute. With financial help from the Canadian Legion Branch 168 in Iqaluit, and with logistical support from Canada's High Commission in NZ and the Ngai Tahu Maori, we were able to assemble an exciting itinerary.
Here's our group, viewed against the backdrop of Auckland's harbour.
