Russell, New Zealand's first capital!

#Overseas travel #New Zealand #New Zealand travel #New Zealand North Island #Capital travel #Ferry Russell is the first capital of New Zealand. It is also the settlement of the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand in the past, and it is one of the first cities where Europeans who first arrived in New Zealand settled. It is accessible by land, and you can also take a ferry from a city called Paihia.⛴️ As it has a long history, it is not a developed city, but it is a place where you can feel the atmosphere of a small, quiet country town. It is a town where the oldest church in New Zealand, Christchurch, the oldest printing company, and the oldest hotel exist. In particular, bullet marks from the Maori War, a war between the Maori and Europeans, can be seen on several buildings and in Christchurch.
