Morning Has Broken on Kairakau Beach
5 december 2022, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
"Oh What a Beautiful Morning!... Oh, what a Beautiful Day!" .. come on and song along.. we all have so much to be thankful for.. praise His Name.
We are set up for the next 3 days at Kairakau Beach which is sbout 80kms south of Hastings. It has a sealed road to it but oh what a long winding road it is,... but oh, what a reward when you arrive at its end.
Christine needs to be back in Rotorua next Tuesday therefore we are slowly heading back that way, while enjoying all what our beautiful country has to offer.Meer informatie

Go North For The Sun .. "yeah right"
7 december 2022, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
After a few days in the sun at the beach we came north this morning to Antartica... no not quite... Napier. It us just that it is windy and as cold as Scott Base.
We did settle at a freedom camp site right in the city on the Marine Parade but decided the constant noise and your neighbour being only 700mm away we would move on.
We went and bought supplies and then went and parked up at the expansive NZMCA camp.... well worth it.
Off to check out some of the regions products and sights tomorrow... roll it on!Meer informatie

To Cruise or Not to Cruise?
8 december 2022, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Today was a fine day but some-what windy and chilly. The morning was taken up with laundry at a local Liquid Laundromat... it was great to be all up to date again.
We then went and parked up at a West End Beach Reserve and Christine made lunch while I took our boy for a walk. Later we took on the Art Deco CBD in Waymaker. Up, down and around we went looking at the marvelous architecture of this wonderful city after which it was off to our pilgrimage to the Sidewalk Cafe'. A stop we always make when in Napier.
From there it was to the reserve just down the road to watch the cruise liner "Crown Princess" sail without us!!
Off around the corner to pick up our order of the best fish 'n chips in NZ just to find that our GPS decided to pack a hissy fit!! Trying to use my cell phone to get back to our camp site in the thick of 5pm rush traffic was not a happy experience.
Oh how wonderful it is to rest up relax and to dream of my life on my Cruise liner.... dream on until tomorrow when we head out onto thd blacktop once again.Meer informatie

One day to go before we load her up.
9 december 2022, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
Rain, rain, and more rain today when we left Napier to when we passed through Taupo. We have now stopped the night at Mangakino Village on the shores of Maraetai Lake. Should be peaceful but being Friday night I am not so sure!!
Tomorrow we are off to our storage shed in Rotorua to load Waymaker up with summer goodies... and then off again for Christmas. This life is not boring!!Meer informatie

First trip ends... A new day dawns.
11 december 2022, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ 🌧 18 °C
Yesterday our journey of delivery ended back at Rotorua. Our dear friends at Keswick Christian Camp are hosting us for the next week while we load our personal items into our MH for our pilgrimage ahead.
Already we have been blessed by all we have met on the highway as we travelled North. By the wonderful motorhome community whom could tell that we were rookies and helped us with suggestions and ideas.. what a marvelous community. And we were so blessed by Billy and Sally the previous owners of "Waymaker" for all their help, for sharing their knowledge with us, for being there for us when we needed advice, and for equipping Waymaker for her trip north... thank you.
Finally our adventure now starts. In Him we have a field before us that is white for the harvest... together, forward, onward we go into it.
Next trip is about to commence.....Meer informatie

Trip 2 to we Don't Know Where
17 december 2022, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Today is a day of preparation and rest.
After a week of catching up with friends, verious meals to attend countless trips to and from our storage shed as we loaded Waymaker up with rods, summer clothes, pots and pans, plus a thousand of other goodies. Plus getting Cyrus checked our at our Vet, plus a clip and makeover for Christmas it was a very very busy week.
This morning we loaded her up with water and food. Look her to a local "dump site" to empty her other tanks, refuelled the Citroen C5, and then gave Waymaker her first wash for a month. We had proposed to go through to the NZMCA camp in Tauranga but decided that after such a busy week, it would be wise of us to rest up and leave in the morning.
This will be the first trip on our pilgrimage (Ps 84) journey
and we are in for very exciting times ahead....Meer informatie
