Bay of Islands Cream Cruise

Piahai, New Zealand

Monday, Mar 24, 2008

Entry 13 of 19 | show all | print this entry

We had a lovely day for our cruise round the islands with Graham and Pauline on the Fullers Original Cream Cruise so called as they used to call at the islands to collect the dairy products. These days they ferry we tourists and make the odd delivery - this time a newspaper as it was Easter Sunday.We did not actually dock - the paper was put in a bucket on a line and this was hauled in by the islander. We stopped for lunch and Chris and Graham had a swim in the bay, Chris also had a kayak out for half an hour, whilst Pauline and I climbed a hill and took some photographs, and then we all had lunch. We embarked again and went along the coast to Cape Brett and then to Piercy Island which had an arch carved out by the sea and Hugh, the captain, took the boat through the arch and out the other side. There was plenty of room but it didn't seem so at the time.We also saw shoals of beautiful blue fish but no dolphins although sometimes they are seen. It was a lovely run back to Piahai. The Bay of Islands is a beautiful place. We bade farewell to Pauline and Graham who now travel to Fiji and Los Angeles before going home.
