Willow view cottage, otorohanga
8–9 feb., Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Travelled from. Whitianga to Otorohanga today via Hamilton. Stopped off on way for coffee in a small town that was hosting the Highland games. Seemed strange seeing people in kilts.
Been to the glowworm caves tonight. Lynn thought it was great. I thought they had just hung loafs of christmas lights up and charged a fortune to see them . The stalactites were good though.Meer informatie

Today we travelled to Rotarua for an overnight stay, but before getting there we visited Marukopa falls and the natural bridge.Rotarua is famous for its sulphur hot water springs and geysers.
It seemed a long drive and neither of us have come to terms with the change in time difference, getting tired late morning and afternoon. Plenty of stops and coffee on the way. This hotel tonight is crap, a dated business hotel I think. Today was the hottest day getting up to 30c.Meer informatie

Walking near Ohakune Tuesday
11 februari, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Still got a cold and chesty cough, keeping us both awake at night. Still not adjusted to the time difference yet. Been walking in the lush woods not far from the local town and up to a waterfalls. We have a hot tub for our own private use, and been making the most of it when we got back at tea time before walking to the town for a meal. Also there is a chocolate éclair shop that locals travel quite a distance to buy which we had at end of walks.Meer informatie

Ohakune to Napier
12–14 feb., Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Wednesday we travelled to Napier on the east coast. It was destroyed in 1931 by an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the richter scale. The town was rebuilt between 1931 and 1933 in the style of art deco and is the best example in the world. It didn't disappoint. There was a 1931 festival starting when we were there with visitors coming from all over new zealand, dressing up in costume and a grand display of 1930s cars.

On the way over we travelled on a quiet mountain pass road with some stunning views. 123km and it seemed to take forever with no villages and no coffee stop ☹️.Meer informatie

ReizigerWe did find a nice cafe just before we got to Napier. I had a beef sausage roll and Lynn had carrot cake. All the cakes were exquisitely decorated.

Napier
13 februari, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Today we hired a couple of bikes and followed pre planned tracks out of Napier and into the countryside. It took three hours to do the circuit around a nature reserve and along the coast.
We got back into town and admired all the ladies and gentlemen suitable attired in period dress and the ever increasing number of vintage cars arriving.Meer informatie

ReizigerYou timing was perfect for the vintage festival. When we were there they were just preparing for it, with some amazing vehicles trundling into to the deco town.

Wellington
14–15 feb., Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
We travelled to Wellington today around 400km from Napier beautiful route and hot. Took us most of the day. Staying at the Movenpick hotel where on this floor they have guest laundry!!!
Dropped car off and ordered taxi to take us to the ferry to the south island at 7.00am, so early start. We dropped the hire car back at Budget and pick up another one in Picton when we get off the ferry. Hslf way through trip. All going well so far 🤞
Here are some pictures of Wellington.Meer informatie

Mount Takorika track/ Blenheim
16–19 feb., Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ 🌙 16 °C
Hiking was steep, difficult and hot even through trees to look out point 2000 ft up. It took a while to cool down. The route down was even harder as there was a link track to water falls, but not one we should have taken. We felt like monkeys swinging from tree roots. But worth view and fantail bird that followed us some of way. Different hotel tonight D'urville hotel in Blenheim. Then after meal visited local store couldn't choose which apples so many and incredible selection of wines.Meer informatie
