Back in the U.S.S.R err Bay of Islands

That's right everyone. I am back in my favorite place in New Zealand. I am back up in Paihia for an indefinite ammount of time. I got checked into the hostel and the weather was rubbish but I went swimming anyways. I rocked down the road to the beach and swam in the ocean for a solid 45 minutes despite the rain and the wind. I am happy to be back up here. Mussels in White Wine Garlic Butter Cream Sauce for dinner. Happy times!
