Day 85 : Bay of Islands
Woke up early to on a cruise around the bay. The weather was still pretty stormy which didn't bode well for our dolphin swim. The cruise took us on a 3 hour tour and although we saw a few bottlenose dolphins, swimming with them wasn’t an option (fortunately we should get another chance when we get to Kaikoura in the south). We battled the weather and made it out to the most famous island – the hole in the rock – and rough seas resulted in a few seasick passengers. Coming from Fiji, we found the islands were a little underwhelming.
In the afternoon we continued North to Ahipara at the southern tip of 90 mile beach where we’re camped up in a nice holiday park (so we can charge the battery in the van).
