After arriving in Auckland, I rented a car and drove to Bay of Islands where I had booked a sea kayking excursion.

Hey, I remember driving one of these - in the 1950's |
Our sea kayaking office. |

 |
| Checking out and adjusting the equipment |
Our guide -- I forget his name :-( |
We saw some wildlife on the way. |
| |
 |
 |
 |
| We paddled by my campground (for the first night) |
We visited the Haruru Falls...
(more on this below) |
.. where some paddlers went right under the falls (and got soaking wet, of course) |
| |
 |
 |
 |
| Most of us kept our distance, though |

At the end of the day, a foam cup of wine
What more can a guy ask? |

 |
| The next day, on the way out from Bay of Isles, I revisited Haruru Falls by land |
