The Great Escape
Temperature: 23-26 °C, hot days, chilly nights
Highlights: Auckland is surprisingly similar to Sydney. We got to know our group much better during the Base Backpackers foam party. A 4-hour drive via a honey plantation, the famous Kauri Tree and the Whangarei waterfalls we finally arrived at Paihia, the heart of the Bay of Islands (consists of approx 144.23 islands). This part of NZ reminded me very much of Brasil - beautiful little islands, boats and chilled atmosphere. Steve finally got to go fishing - dinner that night was excellent: a monster John Dory, trevally, and snapper.
Disappointments: The Marlin fishing tour was fully booked.
Thoughts: The tour (Connections) we went on was excellent - great people and very well organised and New Zealand is one of the most beautiful countries we have been to.
