March 5, 2016 – Bay of Island, the Birthplace of New Zealand after the signing of the Peace Treaty between the English and the Maori
We needed instruction as to how to row the canoe from the Maori elders
The Maori chief – Front and back
The Canoes to paddle
Row in order and we will get there faster!
The other boat as we overtook them for the third time!!!
The Bird life along the estuary was amazing
A diving board for the local Maori children
The waterfall – our destination – now to row back!!!
Safe on land but doing the Hake – Scary war dance!!
The Gorgeous bay with its 120 islands
The Kiwis take their rugby seriously. Below – as we leave the Bay
