After a 12 hour flight from San Francisco we arrived in Auckland at 5am. Our hotel apartment was overlooking the marina with great views and a very comfortable bed in which to get our bodies back in sync with the time zone.
Today we picked up the hire car and drove 180kms north to Russell on the Bay of Islands. It is a most beautiful spot with stunning coastal scenery with islands, unspoilt coastlines etc. Tomorrow we are doing a 4 hour boat trip.
