Aukland and Bay of Islands

Hey there! Just spent the past two days exploring Aukland and travelling up to Bay of Islands, a relaxed little beach village up north, about 3 hours drive. I booked myself on Stray, one of the backpacker busses. So far it seems like a good decision, I will travell all the way to Wellington with them, by then I will know how I"m going to travell around the southern island. Yesterday I went on a day-trip to Cape Reinga, the most norther point of New Zealand, quiet a nice spot, espacially the 90 mile beach, where we went sand surfing and driving along the beach, eatings shells and stuff... Sweet As - as the lokals like to say. Today I rented a bike and cycled around the Bay before I went on a ferry to Russel - the first european settlement and the place where mighty James Cook first set his foot on.

Well, more to come soon!
