Possibly a spare day in New Zealand?

[mildmannered]

Hi, just that really. Going on a work trip to New Zealand - Auckland, this Saturday and I may have a spare day to myself.

I'm staying at the http://www.spencerhotel.co.nz/ in Takapuna.

I'll have a hire car and fancy just having a bit of a drive around to see some views. Any recommendations as to destinations?

Possibly the Bays around Auckland city, or further afield to the Bay of Islands. I'd suggest asking in the NZ forum. http://pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/forum.asp?h=0&amp...

Drive over to Piha and/or Muriwai.
