The Long Drive North

Today we drove, with many stops to rest and play, from 8.30 am to 6.00 pm. On the journey we discovered the world's slowest Macdonalds and the world's worst hot chips - at different places thankfully.

The best thing we found were Hamilton's wonderful themed gardens. They overlook the Waikato River.

I drastically underestimated the length of the winding drive down into Paihia and so we arrived in the Bay of Islands, very frazzled, to the sound of the Corolla beeping a fuel warning. Our frayed nerves were much soothed by the view from our brilliant hotel unit.


Lyn is demanding gin-rummy revenge so that is the end of today's report.
