Bay of Islands and Stephen's 30th (!) Birthday.

After a few days in Auckland, we hired a car and sorted out our camping gear and headed north to the Bay of Islands. We celebrated Stephen's birthday with a great seafood meal and spent our first night of many to come, in our tiny tent. We visited Waitiangi, which is where the treaty between the British and Maori was signed in 1840.


The flag pole marks where the treaty was signed. The three flags are the British, New Zealand and the original flag, created by the Maori, when the treaty was signed.
