Bay of Islands and Waitangi

We managed to get up north to the Bay of Islands for the weekend.

We visited the memorable HundertWasser Toilets - not to be missed and stopped in a cafe to watch the train coming down the middle of the street. Peter, Felicity and Adam got to drive the ferry across to Russell. We really wanted to visit Waitangi - the Treaty of Waitangi is New Zealand's founding document. It was both beautiful and quiet.

Here's some photos ...

Best wishes,

  1. Glad you got up to the Bay of Islands - one of our favourite places in NZ. We agree with you about Waitangi, it's peaceful and beautiful.You have certainly seen a lot of the country in your time there, we'll have lots to talk about when we next see you!!
