Hallo!
weather Update: More sunny days than rain :-) Yeah!!!
The last days I spent in Paihia, Bay of Islands. That is on the east coast of the Northern Island and the bay has hundreds of small and bigger islands.
-> All islands are bright green (when sunny :-) ) and green when cloudy :-),
-> the water is crystal blue and turquoise when it's sunny and dark blue when cloudy :-)
-> it is really warm and hot when sunny and rather cool when cloudy
But however the weather, it is marvellous! Really very beautiful. Walking on the islands is amazing, enjoying the view over all those bays and beaches and islands! The town itself is small but charming and has some nice seaside bars.
I found a very nice hostel and got to know many very nice people from all over the world! It was really fun drinking some wine together in the evening or having breakfast with whoever was around! Was great!
I went diving one day and found out that the waters are really cold in NZ... on 20m in the water it was "freezing" 18°C :-O.
One day sailing through the islands was warmer :-), but we unfortunately did see no dolphins, which were supposed to be around.
Walking the trek to the "waterfalls" was nice until I noticed, arriving at the "waterfalls" after hours of walking, that there is a big parking lot and many tourists were posing for photos... hmmm. you could drive there with a car! ..so no romantic small, lonely, hidden waterfall in the middle of the forest... ;-) But the walk was nice anyway. :-)
The Bay of Islands was great!
Take a look at the pictures, although they are only a glimpse on what there was to see!
I hope you are all well! Take care! Thinking of you!
Regards to all of you!!
