Imogen Francis and me at Frank's

My first weekend here, we drove up north to Paihia. We stayed in a hotel beside the sea which had a pool. For dinner, we went to a place called Frank's where we had pizza.

In the morning we went up to Waitangi which is where the treaty was signed. Then we came back to the hotel for lunch and in the afternoon we went on a boat out to an island called Urupukapuka. On the way, we saw people swimming with dolphins and i took some photos of them. We landed on the island and Imogen and I kayaked on the beautiful and clear water. We spent the afternoon just relaxing on the beach and reading magazines. We had a barbeque dinner beside the water and then got the boat back to the hotel.

The next morning we went to Russell which has New Zealand's oldest church. We had an ice-cream and then got the boat back over to Paihia. We drove back to Auckland and quickly called into the mall to get something for school.
