A Rocky Start...

The view from our (moving) room...

After Auckland, we visited the small coastal town of Paihia, mainland to the infamous Bay of Islands, for two nights. On the way we visited a waterfall far bigger than we expected. The short walk starts at the precipice, which you cross via a tiny metal bridge with no railings... And if that wasn't treacherous enough, the rainfall from a recent cyclone had evidently caused the rapid river below to swell, leaving no more than a couple of inches between the bridge and the water.
