The 10th Stop: Ahipara, Northland, New Zealand. I round tripped New Zealand's North Island some ten years ago, but never visited the Northland, so this time it was a must. Stayed in a wonderful Ahipara Beachfront Accommodation, hosted by beautiful Paul & Jenny Steele. Absolute quality and attention to detail, and the Ninety Mile Beach with the most beautiful sunsets in your own backyard - what more you possibly could wish for. (And having a rental car insurance not covering the damages from driving the Ninety Mile Beach - what else you possibly could do...)
