Since the last post I traveled from Taupo to Hastings and managed to loose the cover of the intake for the fridge air supply. No issues I had Mac to sooth the nerves and keep me in the right direction. For the forth occasion of the year I arrived ant […]

On the road again taking ten days to get to Christchurch give or take a day depending on the weather and the hospitality I find on the way. It’s been 4 weeks since arriving home and the time at home has been well spent but the weather in the last […]
Looking back to Thursday maybe we should have stayed in Whakatane another day as our best laid plans seemed to be sabotaged by Murphy at every step. We looked for our next destination preferably on the coast and selected Motunau Park, Pukehina. An attraction was the cafe/bar across the road from the […]
Moved on from Napier. Feeling a bit lost as I know we are on the track home. First stop SWS (shit water stop) ready for what the road along the coast will bring . First stop was Wairoa Wines and Spirits for Donna’s bottle of Champa’s so as she can […]

Left Timona park early Saturday morning on route to the Palmerston Airport to pick up Heather. On route we called into RD1 for socks, then Mitre 10 for a generator and finally Pak and Save for meat for the dogs. All completed prior to 12:30 – To the dog park […]
We moved on from Rangiwahia early yesterday morning. We would recommend the park it was so quiet and in the middle of a nestled farming community. Rose however did want to use the new hot/cold outdoor shower prior to leaving and so found the largest and smelliest chook poo to […]
