Bay of Iles, Paihai, New Zealand

We left Dunedin and flew to Aukalnd on the 14th. In Aukland, we rented a car and drove to Paihai, a small town on the "Bay of Isles". The Bay of Isles is a bay with over 144 islands in it with a beautiful coast line and the town of Russell, only a short passenger ferry ride across the bay. We hopped on a ferry to see Russell and then on an excursion boat is see the islands, bottle nosed dolphins, the Cape Brett light house, and the "Hole in the Rock", which is the farthest part of the bay as it meets the Pacific Ocean.

Pictured are: the town of Russell, Cape Brett Lighthouse, and the "Hole in the Rock".
