Left home this morning around 10am enroute to Paihia...I had heard that the Queen Mary II was in town.
Called in to see and have a coffee with Gorge Formby, cheers Mark, will bring beer next time and stay a while, nice spot!!
Had a bite to eat at a roadside Cafe' just before midday, wanted to check it out as a food stop for our pending Whananki ride in April..and it will do just fine.
All day breakfasts and half portions, very nice covered outdoor eating also.
Got to Paihia, the place was very busy as I expected, the big boat was sitting in the bay, tenders were ferrying people into Waitangi from the ship.
We took our bike gear off and stood in the water, to cool the feet off at least. Then sat on the bank for a while just taking in the day..left at 3pm.
Not to self: Buy some Gel pants!
