In Paihia you only have to walk for about twenty minutes until you're smack in the middle of the jungle. Strange sounds from animals you can't even pronounce, barely breathable air, fern, vines, palm trees...
After barely a thirty minute walk Sarah and I reached a viewing platform. It certainly hadn't felt like hiking up a steep mountain, but the view told us we'd gone pretty far up:
We had the most stunning view of the Bay of Islands, with the water twinkling in at least ten different shades of light blue.
And what better way to wash off the jungle sweat than by diving into the water as the sun goes down. :)
Looks like you've stranded in paradise. :-)
