Waitangi Day is a great day out for people spotting and food tasting. This year there were very many food stalls - I lucked out and chose the right one (long queue of locals was a giveaway) and tasted a
fresh mussel fritter that was so delicious, I don't care if I ever taste one again - also amazing was the creamy kina soup with fried bread. If you are ever in Northland in the begining of February - Waitangi is where you want to be!
