More pictures of the Bay of Islands

From the air flying over the Bay of Islands.  You can see the shadow of the wing of the plane on the left side of the picture.

Looking down over the town of Russell.

A bit of an inside joke:  Eric had requested that we have our picture taken kissing on a park bench to simulate when Tom proposed to me on a park bench in the Bois de Bologne in Paris 50+ years ago.  Then Mark and Martha went to the Bois a year or so ago and son Michael took their picture with Mark on bended knee as if proposing.  Maybe it will become a family tradition.  This was taken by our travel mate David in the town of Russell.  A bit complicated, I know...
