bay of islands

so we have travelled up north to the 'bay of islands' and we are predicting that we will be here for 3 nights. theres really not much here! especially the town where the hostel is. its very scenic and i'm sure it would be lovely in the glorious weather but unfortunately the glorious weather has gone on holiday! it has rained basically all day, but its meant to be nicer tomorrow. we got the bus from auckland no probs, but it was quite a long journey (about 4hrs) and i was beginning to feel slightly travel sick by the end - but it was all good!
we have made some friends! which is unusual for us as we are usually very anti-social!!
sorry about the lack of piccys, but we haven't taken any!
