Day 3

A bit of a sh*t show today.  Drove to a town called Paihia on the north east coast.  Torrential rains for a good part of the day.  We were supposed to go on a boat tour in the afternoon, but due to a series of almost comical coincidences, we missed it.  The good news is that they let us reschedule for the next day and we were able to juggle a different reservation from Day 4 to Day 3.

In the afternoon, we visited the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, which is a very important historical spot for the Maori people.  There is an excellent historical museum onsite.

In the evening we took a ferry across to a town called Russell, which is quite picturesque and is a holiday spot for rich Aucklanders.  Russell was the first capital of New Zealand.
