  • Day Thirteen To orient ourselves on Napier and its position on Hawkes Bay, we drove up to the Bluff Hill Domain and Lookout. Situated directly over the Port of Napier (can’t actually see the town CBD), you look northwards towards Gisborne. Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 25, 2009
  • Day Twelve After some light rain overnight, we awoke to fog and an overcast sky. It was cold also. The park we stayed at was pretty busy and with New Zealand school holidays starting next week, the town is gearing Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 25, 2009
  • Day Eleven For a change of scenery we spent last night out at Blue Lake. Blue Lake is located 11km south of the city next door to its sister, the Green Lake. Blue Lake is round in space and Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 25, 2009
  • Final Thoughts on New Zealand I planned the first leg of my trip with very little preliminary research. Now its true that New Zealand was on my radar solely for the purpose of skiing in what I deem summer. But from there, my Posted by efstein in The Thing Speaks for Itself | Sep 23, 2009
  • Day Ten We woke up this morning after a very cool evening (we had the heater on all night) to clear blue skies. We got an early start as we wanted to visit the Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland which is 27kms south Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 20, 2009
  • Day Nine Waihai Beach Top 10 Holiday Park definitely had the best facilities for us out of all the parks thus far. Sam loved the heated pool and Pat loved the Jumping Pillow and Under 5's Room. Paul got to stroll Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 20, 2009

  • Day Eight I could have stayed a week in the small township of Coromandel and still not see everything. The only drawback to living in this little town is the coastal road. Very narrow and very dangerous, but I mentioned Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 18, 2009
  • Day Seven It was hard to leave our campground at Matakohe. It was a scenic and well looked after and is positioned on the top of a hill overlooking the upper reaches of the Kaipara Harbour. Yes another harbour. We Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 17, 2009
  • Day Six New Zealand really is picture perfect. That over with, we really had a big day yesterday. The trip out to Cape Reinga is out and back in the same day. The thing that makes matters worse is Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 17, 2009
  • Day Five Todays visit to Cape Reinga was always going to be a high point for me. Principally because of the famous little lighthouse sitting out on the cape. It was great site, but for more than that, which was Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 15, 2009
  • Day Four Today's highlight was definitely the first activity we did today. We splurged $85 per adult and $40 on Sam (Pat was free) on a open seated power cat ride out to The Hole in the Rock off Cape Brett. Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 15, 2009
  • 11 days until I leave Wow I haven't updated this thing in ages - sorry everyone!

  • Day Three The rain finally stopped during the evening, but the cloud cover remained. This meant it remained a quite warm evening and certainly not as cold as I had expected. We all woke early and were able to get Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 13, 2009
  • Craigeburn and Broken River (written 10 days ago) but edited and published today. If you read the previous post it should be evident that I began my return to the road after a break in Wanaka with unplanned and unmotivated travels.

  • Day Two After a quick induction with the motorhome we where off - straight to the supermarket. As we have done a motorhome holiday before, we learnt that it is better to undershop rather than buy too much. Small fridge, Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 12, 2009
  • Day One - Getting there They say a journey starts with one step. A lay over of 5 hours with two young children can end a journey. Who cares then how it started! The tyranny of distance is a killer, especially if you Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 12, 2009
