Report 6 March

Before we leave the campsite this morning, Lyn’s wife comes by to say goodbye. She served the last evening after the BBQ, especially for us in house a coffee / tea table with the most delicious cakes. Another example of the hospitality of the New Zealanders. Now Rodney comes to pick us up to drink coffee before we move on. He has a typical New Zealand house everything on the ground floor. Very different from some colonial-style houses. His house and garden have a very relaxed atmosphere. Of course he also has a “mancave” where his cars are parked and where behind the many objects a story is hidden.
Because we made music the night before, he shows his banjo and banjo / ukulele.
We say goodbye and leave to go to Napier the Art Deco city.

t is hot today with lots of sun. The weather is always difficult to predict. It can be very different over 50 km. So if you do not have a fixed route, it is wise to keep an eye on the weather map in order to follow the sun. In this region it has clearly been very dry. It is a beautiful drive through the hills but everything is yellow and dry. On our mapss we aim at Kennedy Holiday Park this evening, a real resort, more luxurious than we are used to, but then you have great facilities at your disposal.
In the evening it’s raining so we order a taxi to take us to Emporium where we enjoy culinary delights.
