So here I was, wondering what to do with all these photos I keep taking on random and seemingly infrequent activities I do between work and work. Then I got a “renew domain name” email and it was like fate. Fate in the sense that I made it myself but am just incredibly forgetful. You’ve probably forgotten about this place too, so hello forgetful buddy. Now enjoy as from here on in I’m going to use this as my online photo album.

My most recent adventure was to Russell, Bay of Islands, New Zealand. A stunning spot where the beach is made of tiny pebbles and makes the most beautiful and comforting sound as the waves lap on the shore. It’s also where my Father moor’s his catamaran and resides. In word summary, it included a lot of food, baking, drinking, rugby and walking plus a suggestion to move to Russell. A perfect long weekend activities list, minus the suggestion to move to Russell.

In photo summary:

Stocked up on snacks from Little Bird Unbakery and Eatery for bus ride entertainment.

Post bus and ferry, arrival a la BOI.

Small towns really play on my curiosity. But like WHEN!!???

The first boat in from Friday’s Coastal Classic Yacht race, Vodafone’s tri-maran moored in the distance.

Rainy Saturday morning 4 ingredient PB cookies.

Boardwalk, pre getting soaked and having to hitchhike home.

Matauwhi Bay.

Sunday Paihia to Otaki stroll. Would not recommend mudflats shortcut.

Lunch spots.

Pizza place puns, kills me every time.

Final night sunsets. #notfilterneeded #etc

Monday morning cafe visit with postcard views before departure.

Final note, contrary to the title I wasn’t with a Bae, it was a pun for Bay and there were many an island.
