After a bit of rushing around like chickens with our heads cut off, we have left for our cruisin' trip around the South Island. On waking yesterday we did have a few doubts, as per usual it was raining in Whangarei. But we bit the bullet, packed the bike and took off. We got rained on just before Wellsford and then it cleared up to a beautiful fine day. Orewa for morning tea and a top-up with gas, then straight through Auckland.
a beautiful big Oak tree, with a handy fruit and vege vendor parked there, so Black boy peaches for lunch (yum). The toilet was the highlight for me, a 90ish year old gentleman puts flowers in the ladies toilet every week, it was neat to see the notes of appreciation on the wall .
We stopped for lunch in Gordonton, a little country town in the Waikato. Lunch was had under

We reached Taupo at about 4 and went down to the lakeside to chill out and admire the view. We found my niece Carleens place, Then we all went downtown for a drinks and Indian takeaway for tea (yum again). What a great day for our first leg.
