Taupo to Napier (Te Pohue)

Loved driving on the straight State Highway Number 5 for a while. It happened that I was the only one on the road sometimes, which was a little bit weird and great at the same time. It's preparation for the South Island.

I had sunshine nearly all the way until I came over quite a high ridge and suddenly I drove into fog and clouds and it started raining ☁. 10 mins later the sun was out again. 🌞

I'm staying in Hastings in a lovely self-contained studio (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/8571472). There are a lot of vineyards to see and also Napier which is famous for its Art Deco buildings.Read more
