Just completed 3 days of travelling.....all stress free! gave myself plenty of time, enjoyed the views, no hassle. friday left Bay of Islands 7.45am, stopped for lunch sitting in chair right alongside long (1k?) lake (Waikato?) Moara Roa Reserve - quiet and peaceful. continued on to Taupo on edge of lake Taupo very nice camp site walked into town found myself looking over huge gorge makes avon gorge look small brilliant blue/green water spectacular. had a bungee jump platform over the water. ugh. also nearby thermal baths/swimming pools/gym complex. I might come back here on way back up thru to Auckland.
Saturday drove to just north of Wellington stayed at a slightly tatty site called Kurtons Motor Camp in Porirua horrendous weather rain wind cold did my washing, read for a while, early night.
Sunday 10.35 ferry to south island wow spectacular views leaving north island sail west accross Cook Straight to Tory Channel and into Queen Charlotte Sound this is a very long narrow fiiord with lots of waterways in all directions and steep hillsides going up 100's meters covered in trees that look like miniatures and bush cant use spectacular again more than that fantastic sight will see it again going back. Now on camp site in Picton on south island. Hope to do some walking here. All the Best,
John.... John Cornhill
