IN THE NORTH OF NEW ZEALAND: Russell
In 15 to 20 minutes the Paihia / Russell ferry takes you from Paihia to Russell. The straight line is 3 km I was told by the skipper. Before 1844 Russell was called Kororareka.
Not long ago I enjoyed not only the journey on the ferry from Paihia to Russell, but also the tranquillity and beauty of Russell, the quiet seaside village.
