Islands in a bay!

Next stop on the tiki tour was the Bay of Islands, known for its on water life and diving. Neither of which we could really do due to having the pooch with us. Still, it's a nice place to hang out.

The weather finally started to clear up for us and the heat turned up.

Seeing the cruise ship moored out in the bay near Paihia seemed surreal compared to the professional cruise ship harbour we have in Wellington, but I guess needs must when there's nowhere for a boat that big to berth any closer to land.

We managed to get the last site at a campsite too, and what a peach it is. With a direct view over the Haruru Falls, it's rather a pleasant place to spend the night.
