Bay of Islands, New Zealand – February 22, 2017

The Bay of Islands is in the Northern region of the North Island of New Zealand.  It is known for beautiful rolling hills, landscape, beautiful beaches and a coastline of bays and inlets.  It is 150 miles north of Auckland.  Paihia is the major island which is known as a popular holiday destination.  Very small “town” and they open a craft market when the cruise ships arrive.  There are about 45 cruise ships that come to Paihia over the year.

The port is shallow so we tender in on small boats. To leave the harbor there are maritime boats the escort the ships out.

We sail for the next two days heading for Sydney, Australia.

Still having a great time!
