Bay of Islands in Photos

 Bay of Islands, The Winterless North

When you live in the northern hemisphere, north means cold. South of the equator, the northern part of land masses are warmer than southern. So beautiful Bay of Islands doesn't have to worry about snowfall.

Here's the DH's photo montage of our visit:

Crew contract on Viking run 6 months on, 2 months off. They work 10 days, 7 days a week, yet they are unfailingly cheerful and fascinating to talk to. This is Tabeth, our excellent senior server at The Restaurant. She is leaving us in Auckland to return to her home and family in Zimbabwe.

Godspeed, Tabeth. You made every meal an event for us! Thank you.
