A View from Pompallier House

Once everyone sobered up from the night before, we took a ferry over to Russell Island the following morning. There, we visited Pompallier House, an old French-colonial factory that printed bibles in Maori as part of the Catholic Mission back in 1842. It was amazing to learn about the labor-intensive process of how the old leather-bound bibles were made. The picture here is a view of Russell Beach from Pompallier.
