Waitangi Treaty House is only a couple of kilometres north of Paihia and is the place where the first ever accord was signed between the native Maori and european usurpers. Unfortunately, my early experience of nz is that like all colonised countries, the indigenous peoples still play a long second fiddle to the invaders. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the half day history lesson whilst also meeting another new friend!
