Day 16 Paihia 0 day!

Today was great. I met so many people in the kind common area of the Pickled Parrot. I updated my blog a few times, and spent the entire afternoon and evening with many new friends. From France, USA, England, Scotland, Spain, and the Netherlands. We all sat around the common room drinking and talking all night as the group enjoyed simply relaxing and being off of our feet. Glad for the respite, but ready for the day tomorrow. Also really nice to watch the rain pound down outside all day as we remained warm and dry inside eating ice cream and drinking whiskey! great day :)
