Hey guys!<\/p>\n

So today was the first day in my Stray<\/a> Bay of Islands <\/strong>3 day trip from Auckland <\/strong>all the way up to the North most point, Cape Reinga<\/strong>. I bought a Stray Everywhere Pass<\/strong>, which is ALOT of money, BUT it allows me to travel all around New Zealand and pretty much see everything!<\/p>\n

So my day started off checking out this giant Kauri tree as we drove from Auckland<\/strong> to Paihia.<\/strong>

Next we took a quick stop and went caving, barefoot <\/em>to check out the glowworms, they unfortunately didn’t show up very well on camera :\/<\/p>\n

After our lovely caveing experience, which was very scary to say the least because I didn’t own a flashlight AND we where walking in the pitch black. I mean,\u00a0 I could have stepped on a spider or something! We then headed back onto the road where we ran into some New Zealand wild life! And YES, THERE ARE LOTS OF SHEEP IN NEW ZEALAND.<\/p>\n

\nLOL and lots of cows too. These ended up crossing our path and we had to pull over to let them pass .\"IMG_1165\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After our wild life dilemma was over, we took another small pit stop to believe it our not, check out the Kawakawa Toilets!<\/strong> Yes, there are a huge tourist attraction! I found them quiet interesting myself .<\/p>\n

And then finally, we got into Paihia<\/strong> and the Bay of Island <\/strong>around 4pm, and we spend the rest of the day at the beach, working on my rather pathetic tan XD.<\/p>\n
