When I was in Paihia I did more than just swimming with dolphins. I actually went on a car ferry to Russell. In Russell me and my parents went into a museum that showed the history of Paihia. They had a replica of Captain Cooks boat (Adventure) and befores and afters of what The Bay Of Islands looked like. it is a real change of what it looked in the olden days. We also watched a DVD of what happened and I learned a lot from that.
Back in Paihia we went and visited the oldest building in New Zealand, (The Stone Shop). It used to sell merchandise that sailors would come to and buy their daily goods.
I love that part of our country too Arabella. There is lots of history there. Sounds like you had a great holiday. Thanks for sharing.
