A day in Paihia

---

After a brief lie in (we wake up hungry) we decide its breakfast time.

Rob goes crazy again and orders pancakes with lemon syrup, passion fruit, cream and ice-cream. Needless to say we leave the cafe full!

A stroll to the supermarkets sees us stock up on supplies.

Rob is ecstatic - after 3 years he finally gets me in a kayak!

After a brief introduction and instructions from Rob and we are away!

This is much harder than it looks!

For 2 hours we kayak around 4 of the islands and stop off to soak up the remoteness of the islands and the rays of sunshine.

One thing Rob failed to mention was how wet the person in the front of the kayak gets (how cunning).

Amazing - but tiring - we got back to the hostel and picked up our picnic supplies and head back down to the beach.

Rob starts to read his book, so Kerry catches up with some of the blog.

We then put a film on - Hancock but it is rubbish so we quickly fall asleep after a tiring day.
