... which Mambo pronounced pie-here, so that's how I remember it, cause NZ loves its pie!). Everyone went off to the BASE hostel, but I had read about this cute place called Pickled Parrot, and left everyone else to go find it. I'm glad I did, instead of going to BASE, as it's really nice. There's free breakfast, free wifi, a parrot, and the owner has 3 dogs, so I'm in heaven! I've booked a boat tour for Saturday, and head to Cape Reinga on Sunday, so I'm looking forward to ...

... just what the first explorers thought when they sailed into the Bay I dont know for me just one word -" WOW". We headed into Paihia first thing and booked a trip on a very fast power boat called "Mack Attack" to the outermost headland to see "Cathedral Cave" and the "Hole in the Rock".
