Well, we are creeping closer and closer north and are currently situated in a carpark in Whakatane. The night we spent in Gisborne was not one of our best with Rose exhibiting signs that her reflux was bothering her. We had decided to try a raw dog meat shop near […]

Woke this morning to a beautiful day on Mahia Peninsular but it is time to move on as we slowly wend our way North (not mentioning Auckland-bound lol)………….many thanks to our hosts at The Boatshed – Stuart & Carol. When we arrived on the eve of The Wedding I was […]

We are still at the farm with Rod assisting as farm labourer while Rose has become a farm dog……….she is loving hunting with Lucky and Pepper (Steve and Anne-Marie’s dogs) I called her for breakfast this morning and she didn’t come which was surprising. I called for ages and eventually […]

Good morning and what a lovely morning it is here in almost sunny Napier.

Rod started the morning with a big walk in Plimmerton before we moved on.; while I did some ‘housework’ After our usual WSS (water/shit/station) stop we arrived in Waikanae and pulled into the freedom camping space at Waikanae Estuary. What a great location for self-contained […]

What a glorious few days!!!! Our adventure in Wellington began when we arrived and had to find the NZMCA park in Plimmerton……bless Garmin; it had not updated one of the off-ramps and we initially missed our turn. With some creative manoeuvring we turned around and eventually found our night’s end […]
