HomerotuKerikeri, the more north, after wiping the northern coastal city of Paihia, can finally come, although the sky is overcast, but not less the beauty of this place, but more that heavy sense of history. Stone Store, is the main reason for coming to the long-awaited Kerikeri, said that the month-long New Zealand North and South Island crossing, the initial itinerary, is not the South Island of the beautiful lake, but the North Island this small place, many of the first in the history of this country, It caught my eye for a long time. Kororipo Heritage Park, is the general name of this time precipitation place, it turned out that there is not only the Stone Store, the oldest stone house in New Zealand, and the white one next to it is the oldest building. And in this land, Maori and Europeans have the opportunity to officially sit down for the first time. It was these historic meetings that gave rise to the very prototype of the country of New Zealand today. Slowly walk through the Stone Store and Kemp House, on the famous "The Meeting Pool" side, there is a blue flower, not a forest, but naturally standing, Zhuoer is not group, as if it is very natural, it should grow there, witness the changes of history, do not change the original intention. Under the tree grass, some people lie on the ground, some people are doing yoga, a little further away, and children play in the river, everyone is quiet, sharing this quiet and beautiful. Not far from there is a bridge across both sides, walk up, you will find that the bridge is the overlooking map of this place, "View of the Past", Kemp House is built earlier than the Stone Store, think about it is normal, always have Mission Station rooted first, before there may be various commercial trades later, so political protection of the economy, Economics feed politics, ancient times and today, it is better. I was enjoying the Stone Store from afar on the other side, and suddenly there was sunshine in the clouds, and the white house and blue flowers opposite, all of a sudden, bright and vivid with this green grass and flowers, although only for a moment, but Buddha said: "Nine hundred lives and destruction in one moment", sincerely do not deceive me. Back to the Stone Store, the words on the blackboard at the door and the old dress of the female clerk have made you look forward to the time corridor you want to enter, and step into the store, unwhitened quaint stone walls, a dazzling array of small things, hanging long guns, wooden barrels, rattan and coarse cloth, stacking of goods, It seems to be a reappearance 200 years ago. History may be a cold cuddle for some, but this unique spot is fair warmed.
