Bay of Islands and Waitangi

After our 3 relaxing days out on the water where we visited the historic little town of Russell, we spent a day touring around the Bay area by car, visiting Paihia, Opua, and a walking visit of the Waitangi Treaty grounds where history was made in 1840 when the British and Maori signed the Treaty founding New Zealand.
