Bay of Islands

Wow! Has it been more than a month since I last posted on here?

Anyway, we just came back from spending a night in Paihia. Ryan was a real handful on this trip. He was being a real brat and was crying a lot. I guess a lot of kids are like that but it was meant to be a relaxing trip. Turned out it was more stressful than staying at home. Ok, I should really stop complaining on his blog.

It was a good thing that we left early on Saturday morning as today turned out to be a write off. We couldn't do anything as the sky was pouring the whole day. When we were on our way, Ryan asked where we were going and I said "Paihia". Then he asked "Are we eating pie there?". The way he said it was so innocent that we burst out laughing. Hahaha.

We went on the Mack Attack boat on Saturday. It's a speed boat that circles the whole of the Bay of Islands and lasted for slightly less than 2 hours. It was free for Ryan as he was under 5 and just as well, as Ryan was asleep within 5 minutes. He woke up for a little while but was asleep most of the trip. He was so excited to go on the boat but was very tired at the same time. He told me he had fun but I seriously doubt it as he got quite upset when the boat started to go really fast as the wind was hurting his eyes.

That was basically the only thing we did. We were planning on doing some other things but weather didn't allow any of it.

I have attached a couple of photos taken by Ryan. He kept asking for my camera and I couldn't say no, so I gave it to him to take a photo of a tree and water. Maybe I should look at getting him a real camera.

Enjoy the photos.

I particularly love the second one, of the water. Great composition, and balance of light and dark! If Ryan keeps this up he'll soon be going out on photographry trips with Kung Kung :-)
