Russell

After lunch we drove to Opua and got the car ferry over to Russell. It was quite busy at the harbour. All the cafes and restaurants were full and there were people on the beach.

We had a wander around Russell and then drove through town to Long Beach – which is mostly just a beach – not really a surprise!

There were many more people at this beach and lots of people, and some dogs, in the sea. We walked the whole length of the beach as the sand was mostly very soft. 

The beach was full of shells and what we thought were pebbles we were walking on, were lots of broken shells.

The water was so clear and there were fish swimming really close to shore. There were lots of sailing ships a bit further out to sea.
