Russell

Due to my total lack of activity over Christmas, there's been no escapades or adventures to report. So there's nothing for it but to pick up where I left off in mid-December with some more shots of our trip around Northland. We'll be continuing up the east coast and returning down the west coast.

This is Russell, our overnight stop in the Bay of Islands. Russell was NZ's first capital and known as the hellhole of the Pacific because of the wild behaviour of the whalers and other early settlers. So it's apt that NZ's oldest church should be found there.
