Auckland to Paihia
... 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.

Bay Of Islands - a magical place
... 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". Having to get kitted out in wet gear and life jackets and sign a waiver let us know this wasn't going to be a gentle trip and it wasn't. Fast and furious and breathtaking it was.
