Day one Auckland to Matamata

Up early, walk to Orewa Beach to see the non existent sunrise. 🌅 Lol
Off we go in our new Dethleffs Alpa.
Packed up ready to go and first stop Zion Motorhomes to reset the settings of air suspension. Had to wait 3 hours so walked down to Pokeno shops and bought some yummies from Pokeno Bacon shop. 🥓
Look at the cute rubbish bins they have.
All sorted and off to Ngarawhaia to pick up Honeys' new wool handmade coat from Ruffles Petware.
Onto Matamata Saddlery who make OCD (Obsessive Cycling Disorder) who make amazing covers for our bikes.
They closed at 5pm but stayed open til 7pm for us to sort us out. We need a cover with lights on it as it covers our lights and indicators, not an easy exercise.
These guys went above and beyond for us and didn't leave until 7pm. Incredible service.
We found our holiday buddy Denise all tucked up already at Matamata RSA not too far away and we settled in for the night.
We are excited to get up at
5 30am for the Anzac Parade in the morning. Will be getting my clothes out ready as it will be 3 degrees.
