Up the top!

Hello again from Auckland. We've had a few days up in the Bay of Islands with one day spent on up trip up to Cape Reigna which is at the very top of New Zealand. Then today we did the Excitor speed boat tour around the Islands.

The lighthouse is not quite the most Northern point, but almost!

The Tasman and Pacific Ocean meeting each other.

Can't quite see it here on the small version, but there is a sign there pointing at London. I'm currently 9735miles away!

We did sand boarding off this. A massive sand dune. Awesome coming down, just getting up was a lot of effort!

Getting ready for the Excitor boat...

Couldn't really get many photos on the boat as there was a lot of water coming on board! Was a great trip out though, just don't think I could of handled much longer than the 90mins as my legs took a beating on the metal seats!

Off on a day tour of Auckland tomorrow, then to Mercury Bay on Friday.
