Northlands - Day 5

The Bay of Islands is considered to be the jewel of the Northlands. Kerikeri is a part of it but all the action is down in Paihia which is still tiny but seems to be aimed more at holiday makers than backpackers in search of seasonal work so there's heaps more to do. Me and Kama had booked...
