The Bay of Islands and north

---

OK, so we have been in the Northland for the last 6 days. Our main area is a town called Paihia which is in the Bay of Islands. We also took a day trip up to Cape Reinga, which is the northern most part of the country, and where the Tasman Sea meets the Pacific Ocean. We did some dune boarding while we were up there as well. There is much more to tell, but I figure I would just post pictures then write later.
