We celebrated the beginning of 2012 twenty-one hours before the west coast of the US. There were fireworks over the Bay of Islands that we saw from the deck of our lovely B&B in Paihia. - R&N

Russell Island
We took the ferry in the Bay of Islands to Russell Island which was settled in 1843 and very soon developed a reputation as "the Hell Hole of the Pacific" due to the riotous living of whalers, escaped convicts and sailors-come-ashore. The oldest church in New Zealand, however, is on the island. Today Russell Island has a quaint village and a charming atmosphere.
