10:51 waiting for a tender to go ashore, GMT + 12!
The Map shows where the Queen Elizabeth is anchored and shows the tender route in red squares.
Plans are to go to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, then walk into Paihia and catch a Ferry to Russel.
The treaty grounds are where in 1840 where the Maori Chiefs and the British Crown signed the "Treaty of Waitangi" document the basis of life as it is known in New Zealand. Also the site of the Waitangi National Trust estate.
Paihia has been a holiday destination for over 300 years, and main industry is tourism still.
We arrived off the tender at Waitangi Wharfs, got a free shuttle bus to Piahia, where Mo had some retail time and I took a nature trail walk to Piahia Lookout.
Have no pics of Mo's shopping :)
