Still heading north, we spent a couple of nights in the adorable seaside town of Russell, on Bay of Islands.
Russell boasts the oldest church in New Zealand. Its construction of this church was funded in large part by Charles Darwin, who was appalled at the crudeness of Russell's residents and thought they could use some churchin'.
But the main point of going to Bay of Islands is to get out in the bay, which is full of dolphins...
And islands! Here, the famous "Hole in the Rock," which tourist boats such as ours motor straight through.
But there are tons of other islands, large and small.
We even got to dock and take a quick hike on one of them. So beautiful.
