Bay of Islands - Paihia to Opua

My second day in Paihia and we get beautiful sunshine which is good as I am desperate to get out of the hostel which is full of hung over children who are just waiting to get drunk again. Note to self... do more research before booking hostels.
 I choose to take a walk along the coastal track to Opua which is about 6km.  It is a pretty deserted route which is heavenly after the chaos on the bus yesterday and the crowds at the hostel. It is a really pleasant walk round bays and past, wading birds and mangrove trees.
