The far north- Bay of Islands

This past week I’d been working real hard and got some great results for me project, so to celebrate, I took Monday off (how slack am I?!). Not wanting to dilly dally and in an effort to spend as much time as possible with some buddies who’ll soon be going, I joined them on a trip to the far north of NZ! So we borrowed a 80’s camper van (Chichi, we decided to call it! So we could say “Corre chichi, corre!!”) and we were off!!


Our first stopover was at the Bay of Islands, towards the north east of Auckland, which was the site of arrival of the first European settlers to New Zealand. Great place, it’s a maritime park, very popular for diving and yachting. Since we were a bit poorer than all than we got some kayaks and looped around some of the islands! Great beaches and views of the Pacific Ocean so I’ll definitely be back in summer!
