Arrival in Wellington
On February 6th, 1840, the British Empire and Maori leaders in New Zealand signed a treaty at Waitangi, in the Bay of Islands. This has been the basis of coexistence between the Maori tribes and European settlers ever since. Visiting the historic spot of Waitangi on February 6th 2005 seemed like a good idea, and was certainly interesting.
Pictures of Waitangi day are in the gallery along with pictures of the jet boat trip to the ‘hole in the rock’, Cape Reinga, the Hot Geysers at Rotorua and much more. I’m exhausted, and crossing over the Cook Strait to the South Island tomorrow.
