We weren’t doing any work today, so we decided to had it out the house.
We had breakfast and got ready, then we got in the car and drove 30 minutes to Paihia.
Paihia had been recommended to us multiple times by many people, so we thought we had to check it out.
Once we got a parking spot, we wandered around the very small place. There wasn’t really anything of note, but we did get hungry so we stopped at a rib place for some lunch.
We got loaded wedges to share, which had bacon, cheese and pepper on.
We finished lunch, had more of a look around and then got on the ferry for the 10 minute journey to another small town called Russell.
We got to Russell and explored around a little bit. This is only a small place, so there wasn’t much to see again. It is quite old and French in places, so it was worth a look.
We then stopped in at a cafe for a coffee and relax.
We walked a little bit more after our coffee and then re-boarded the boat to go back to Paihia.
We got back and got in the car to go back to the house.
We got back and got some admin done and chilled. The family returned home and we then all helped make homemade pizza! We had a pizza each which was delicious. We all sat and had a chat at dinner and then after the washing up was done, Kim got to have the pet budgie on her finger briefly, until she was pecked!
We went to bed shortly after, along with a delicious whisky each.
Poroporoaki!
