Road to Paihia

Jun 1st. After an uncomfortable nights sleep on a thin mattress over a hard surface it is time to head to Northland and go to the Bay of Islands area. It is quite a long drive to get there and we don't bother to stop apart from a lunch break. The traffic isn't too bad seeing as it is a long weekend in NZ. We check in to our hostel which is cool and Paihia is a nice little town on the Bay of Islands. Time for some Maori heritage things
