- Drive to Paihia
- Canoing
Up early to drive to Paihia, about a 6 hr drive (actually ended up only taking about 5:30 - although we did use the toll way), Headed off 8:30ish. As per usual, the scenery is amazing - but the drive was very wet - is absolutely poured down in some parts, while we did get a few clear patches, most of the way it rained. Was still raining when we arrived at our accommodation just after 2pm. After settling in, drove into town (which I tiny) and the weather cleared up (as it always seems to do…) hired a canoe for an hour, and paddled out to an island, then out around a few other islands before retuning. This was great, too be able to canoe to an island with no-one else on it (that we could see) and go for a walk.
Back to our motel, had a spa (apparently where the only ones here at the moment, so we have full access to all the facilities without needing to worry about others using them) - and cooked BBQ for dinner.
