Bay of islands, North of Auckland are very tranquil and relaxing after the long flight and a couple of days in Auckland.

We were very lucky with the accomodation here and ended up with this view across the bay. (see right)

The treaty house is here at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds (www.waitangi.net.nz). There are some amazing woodcarvings on the walls. It is a really good location to go to find the history of the native inhabitants and how they interacted with the colonists.

Since we were still recovering from Jet lag when we were staying there we were still waking at near enough sunrise.

On the left you can see a photo of the sun rise in the Bay of Islands.

The war canoes are made from the giant Kauri trees, which can be seen in Northland. [photo of tree]
