Bay of Islands

We are staying for two nights in the Bay of Islands and this morning I woke up  to bright sunshine.Along with a few others I took the ferry across to Russel Island to view some of the spectacular scenery.


There are over 100 islands of varying sizes and this is one of the oldest parts of New Zealand as this is where the first settlers arrived.



This is the oldest church in New Zealand

Here I am enjoying a drink at the first licensed premises in New Zealand.



And here's another first - ice cream burgers!

  4. A beautiful place. We stayed in a B&B there. I forgot the key when we went out and I had to climb in a window.
