My Summer Learning Journey!

During the January holidays my husband took a weeks annual leave off to be with us. We booked a campsite in Russell and were able to explore the beautiful Bay of islands, a first hikoi for our two teenage boys...On our tiki tour we visited Pahia, Waitangi, Hole in the Rock, Cape Reinga, and KeriKeri. One highlight of the trip for me was seeing a pod of dolphins on "The Cream trip" fullers cruise boat. Another one was learning about the history of Te Tiriti o Waitangi from both perspectives and visiting the new museum as well. I learned more about the importance of Turangawaewae that is the place where you belong. I felt a real sense of wairua from touching the magnificent pounamu. If you have never been to Northland I highly recommend it. Russell is a stunning, peaceful and picturesque location.
