What a disappointing end to the trip. There is a cyclone coming in from Fiji that is bringing wet crap weather in until Tuesday! We are therefore probably not staying in the Bay of Islands now as we had decided to do as we can't do the beach and sail and sunbathe thing. We are therefore probably going to go back to Auckland with the tour and hang out around there and do shopping, museums and cinemas etc. We might get one day of sun before we go. Gutted! Tod...

Are now in Paihia, at the Bay of Islands. Unfortunately, we have arrived to cooler temps, grey cloud and a choppy sea, with the forcast to be not good tomorrow and they expect ourboat trip to be cancelled. Hoping we don't have this unlucky weather for our last few days in NZ! Us x
