Easter In The Bay Of Islands

Taking advantage of the four day weekend, we jumped in our trusty Silver Nissan Primera and headed up NZ's thin northern peninsula to the Bay of Islands, which is essentially exactly that, a collection of islands in one big bay. It also happens to be the location of the Waitangi Treaty Ground where the British and the Maori's signed the peace agreement in 1840; as well as the beautiful town of Russell, once known as the 'Hell-Hole Of The Pacific.'
