There is no dock in the Bay of Islands that can handle cruise ships , so they all anchor in the bay, just off Russell , and we tender ashore.
"With its warm azure waters, golden beaches and some of the bluest skies on the planet. Some 150 isles, many still secluded, and a handful of coastal towns make up New Zealand's favorite holiday haven. Waitangi is your historic hotbed imbued in Maori myth and legends. Then there's Russell, the tranquil fishing town, Kerikeri with its wineries and orchards, and pretty Paihia, with its semi-central location - the perfect jumping-off point to everything the beautiful Bay of Islands has to offer.
Paihia is the center of the Bay of Islands. Though only a small town, its population swells dramatically in summer. It's a modern town with dozens of motels, restaurants and shops. Only a short passenger ferry ride away, Russell is full of character and charm. Its a smaller, sleepier town with many fine old buildings and a delightful waterfront.
The public library have public Internet access and free WiFi. So we are getting all caught up on our mail, bills and blogs.
