North to Bay of Islands (29-31 December 2007)

We collected our "Maui" campervan in Auckland and headed northwards (along with many other holidaymakers). Our first stop was the Goat Island Marine reserve.



We took the glass bottom boat trip around the island and saw plenty of fish and stingrays.


At Whangarei we stopped to stock up on supplies for the camper. Here we are at the local falls - a nice lunch spot.


Finally the Bay of Islands, what a lovely place. On the beach at Russell.


Our campervan lumbers along, it is a bit slow and we try not to block up the traffic too much. Oh, another Maui, a friendly wave exchanged. We feel like the trip is really underway now, travelling to new places and seeing new things.
