Bay of Islands, Auckland

Bit disappointed with Bay of Islands, took one of the boat trips out around them, but was expecting more from area, high-light of boat trip was seeing loads of dolphins, this time bottle-nose type. Stayed in a couple of dodgy camp-sites too, a lot of gang staying there were living full-time in tents in camp-site. Tent next to us had about 6 inches of grass growing up around the sides of the tent!

In Auckland now, and after getting rid of the rental car, guy in office where we dropped it off was from Youghal, a small world! Walked upto Mt Eden yesterday, which gives a good view of city, good example of a crater there, and amazing to see little hills scattered around city, showing the volcanic makeup of the city. Not much else to report, doing some shopping and mite take a trip up sky-tower today. Long day tomorrow as we're flying to Hawaii via Sydney.

Later,
Kevin

Hawaii. Bloody hell. Life's not fair lad. Think I'm gonna have to give up reading this thing. Too depressing by half!!!! Sure we'll be seeing you back here soon I guess. Might meet up for a pint sure!
