Auckland to Bay of Islands
Luck wasn’t with us when we set off for the Bay of Islands. New Zealand weather being unpredictable at the best of times, we had rain pretty much the whole 3 days we spent there (with one sunny day at the end). We had the same motel Dad and I stayed in booked for Guy Fawkes night. Despite the weather, it was a great motel to stay in. Mum and Alex were given some free snapper (very popular NZ edible fish), which got them hooked for the rest of the trip.
Yup, Guy Fawkes night is celebrated here too, although it’s not called Bonfire night, and I think the meaning is probably a bit lost…
and this is for dad:

That black shell is now in my garden back in the UK, but I wish it was back on the beach in NZ and I was looking at it!
