Bay of Islands


Saturday, Jan 28th
Our last port of call was the Bay of Islands.

We hiked through a rainforest to see a beautiful view of the islands.  The air was so pure and crisp.  No one was around, so it was our very own rainforest.  While we hiked, Granny told us more about her family and our ancestors.  She shared stories of her childhood and what it was like back then.  It was so interesting hearing more about where we came from.   She has so much wisdom.  Her stories and take on life have really opened my eyes.  She always has a way with making me feel safe and encouraged.  We are very similar- passionate and energetic, impulsive and goofy, spirit led and stubborn.
Mama is really good with maps, so she is the one who led the way up our very own rainforest.  Then we enjoyed the beach down below.  The bay was sprinkled with islands along the coast.  I could have layed on that beach for days.
