Back in the North Island
21 giugno 2023, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
After a muddy stop over on Blenheim and a very calm crossing of Cook Strait, we settled in for the night at a private POP Camp in Waikanae.
Awoke this morning to a chorus of many wonderful birds singing their little hearts out.
Today is laundry day in Levin. Satellite Aerial repair day in Levin, and then to rest up and enjoy the town.... maybe on our bikes.Leggi altro

Viaggiatore The ferry was almost empty... we arrived 150 minutes before sailing as we thought wd might need to be towed out of the mud at the camp in the end the girl just pulled herself out, no problems.

What a Great Location!
12 giugno 2023, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ 🌙 11 °C
We conquered the Takaka Hill although at the very first major corner we very very nearly didn't make it. Wheels spinning on ice, grit, and water... ouch! Never the less the trip out here was well worth it. We are now tucked right along side the Golden Bay; all set up to rest and relax. We have booked for Thursday 7hour trip out to the end of Farewell Spit and to the lighthouse. The rest of the time we will rest, explore and enjoy our location.Leggi altro

Peaceful Collingwood
12 giugno 2023, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
If I didn't know better I would have thought Collingwood was Paradise... it is close but not.
What a wonderful settlement of peace and beauty. A place to restore my soul; a place to totally relax.
Tomorrow we are off on tour to explore the great Farewell Spit lighthouse, fossils, and much more. Friday is move day as we head back to Kaiteretere, and Saturday onto Blenheim.
This stop has been God's timing.. a young lady helped, young couple ministered to, and the camp manager encouraged. So much so that he brought us four snapper filets in appreciation.
It will be sad to move on but if we are to catch our ferry back to Wellington on Tuesday then we must.
Enjoy!! " We will be back!"Leggi altro

Glorious Motueka
6 giugno 2023, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C
What a wonderful, hot, sunny day in Motueka. Since leaving the West Coast, the sun has been with us, and it looks like staying until we cross back to the North Island on the 20th.
Waymaker has been given a bath and she is looking beautiful.
We have just come in from cycling around this town soaking up some wonderful sights.
The next week we will be chugging up to Fairwell Spit then heading off to Picton or Blenheim.
Spitually, so much has been happening. Our prayer list is growing by the day plus wonderful divine moments... totally wonderful..... full of wonder!!
Next it's lunch then off again on the bikes... "FREEDOM!"Leggi altro

What A Day!!
5 giugno 2023, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ 🌙 6 °C
Up early this morning to walk to the cliffs to view the "storm waves." Then take Waymaker out to Tauranga Bay to view the seal colony and the weka's. Then into Westport to exchange clothing, visit Mitre 10, visit a dump station, full up with gas Then head out of town up the Lower and Upper Buller Gorge. We stopped to cross the longest swing bridge in NZ and take the walk to view where the land rose 4.5mtr during the Murchison earthquake.
We are now parked up for the night at the association camp in Murchison. Sadly the Dancing Flame tour over the back of a local farm in their bush has been closed for the next 3weeks.. It looks like we might have to vote this way again!!
What a wonderful day... what a warm sunny day...Leggi altro

Reefton .. Awesome!!
2 giugno 2023, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
We have left Greymouth in pouring rain, lightning, and thunder and headed into coal/gold country to Reefton.
We called in on the Blackball mining town, where strikes and mine fire were had, as well as the Pike River Memorial to the loss of 29miners lives just a few years back.
We also did the inevitable... drove up a country road looking at stuff not realising we could not turn around, as well as ending up on the Lewis Pass Highway with the same problem. .. such is our life on the road.... but Waymaker came through.
We ended up in beautiful Reefton... along side a gold stream, parked up in town, and visiting many second hand shops... what an awesome and a very moving day!Leggi altro

Another Day .. Greymouth
30 maggio 2023, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Another day, another town. The first job on the list is to get the laundry done before the rain hits us again. And YES!! Once again, we have booked into a camping ground for 3-4 days. But 1st job is laundry.. 2nd job is to find out all I can about my old neighbour matess who was born here. I am sure there are things I haven't yet been told. 3rd... is to find out why here and why 3days? BlessingsLeggi altro

Safety Again in Hokitika
29 maggio 2023, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ 🌧 13 °C
What a great little city Hokitika is. Full of unusual architecture, wonderful people, and very strange food!! The weather we escaped from when staying at Franz Joseph has come back upon us, therefore once again we have pulled into the Hokitika Family Motor Camp to be safe for a few days.
Derrick, the father of the camp owner, popped in for a visit this morning in the midst of the storm for a time of prayer.. awesome.
We might stay here for a few more days depending upon the weather.Leggi altro

You Have Got to Love Cromwell
21 maggio 2023, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
We just love this place... such beautiful views, places to see, places to have fun at... we just love it.
Yesterday we went out to the Highland Race Track and tried out their toilets!! Yes you read right.. their toilets.. totally out of this world. Bought a whole lot of fresh veges and fruit. Then had a picnic lunch on the edge of Lake Dunsden with Bryan and Mo before heading off to our pop camp site.
Today was church, lunch with a friend and now set up overlooking the Kawerau River at it's junction with the Clutha River.... it is a beautiful sunny day.
Had a "special" time today with a lady who was touched in a very special way. TYLLeggi altro

We Cannot Get Away From Cromwell
16 maggio 2023, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
We are back in Cromwell... plan on riding a track with our travel mates Bryan and Moana.
Our trip through Central Otago has been terrific, even through horrible weather. And the people? Totally wonderful. Reminds us of NZ 30yrs ago.
Our ferry booking has been made for 21st June and we should be back in Tauranga/Rotorua a week or so later....I must be off to prepare for the day... another adventure in trusting Him!Leggi altro
