Hello! I'am back from the Bay of Islands where i had a good time. It was very pretty up there and the weather was nice, apart from half a day when it rained a little. I saw the sites and took a trip over to Russell Island (use to be NZ's capital city) and up to Cape Reinga, which is the most northen point in NZ. I met some people to hang around with which was nice. A couple of them will be coming through Wellington, so we will meet up.

Apart from that it's back to work at Ministry of Education next week...although we have a days holiday on Tuesday for Waitangi Day, which is the signing of the treaty between the British Crown and the Maori Chiefs in the Bay of Islands in 1840...just a bit of history for you there! It is also Sam's 25th Birthday on Tuesday, so we are having a little party on the Monday for that. Hope you are all well, email me with any news big or small!

P.S I have added 5 more photos to the 'All Sorts' album and there will be some of the Bay of Islands coming soon!
