| A short 15 minute ferry ride, $22 return, from Pahia gets you to the lovely old town of Russell. |

Docking at Russell

| Definitely an old colonial feel about the place and a great place for a stroll. Wooden buildings with terraces. A lovely little wooden Church with lots of history. Apparently it is the oldest in New Zealand. We picked up our lunch from The Bakery, our first Kiwi meat pies of this trip. They were very tasty at $4.50 each. |

| A strong breeze off the sea in town made it chilly so we headed over the hill to Long Beach on the other side of the island. We fell asleep on the grass behind the beach. It is tough being a tourist! |
