Paihia, day 1

Today I jumped on board the Naked Bus. "You don't have to be nude to go with Naked Bus" is their slogan. Too bad I didn't know that before I got on...

After a four hour bus ride I arrived in a rather cloudy and windy Paihia. Anyway, I found some fun with a christmas parade and some beach walking.

I'm hoping the weather will be good enough for a boat ride out to one of the islands tomorrow. After all, the area is called "Bay of Islands".
