Jack and Katrina's Place

In the middle of the Bay of Islands is the island of Urupukapuka. (say it uru-puka-puka) It is a reserve run by the the Department of Conservation and has no permanent residents apart from the sheep, which makjs it a perfect place for a picnic. We landed at Otehei bay. As we were walking along the wharf the crew from the yellow submarine (semi-submersible) convinced us to take a ride out to see the fish. It was a really great expereinece for Guy, here he is looking out at the schools of sapper coming alongside the submarine to be fed. It was actually great value.

Then we walked over the hill for a picnic at this secluded bay on the eastern side of the island. Guy wanted to walk most of the way there and back, here he climbing up the hil on the way back. A another magic day.
