This was rather an uneventful day - we left early to get a good start. It rained, or spat rain, pretty much all the way. We went via Lake Taupo, which is the caldera for a very large volcano, so we at least got to see the lake. The rain abated for our lunch - actually, we must have found the one place it did not rain, because the picnic bench was dry! We had packed cold chicken (the last of the Indonesian leftovers), sardines, boiled eggs, bread and butter, and some slightly cooked green beans. For dessert we had some "Aunt Amy's" and "Anzac" cookies from the ladies in the Napier market. Very good!
We continued on, past more mountain ranges - lowish this time, but still an excess of beautiful scenery, even in the overcast.
We had asked the GPS to take us to One Tree Hill as a way point, but apparently I don't understand waypoints, because it spit us into Auckland at City Garden Lodge. Oh well - we'll find it tomorrow!
Happy birthday to Andrea and Lynda, our first day of spring people! (I don't care that the astronomers are moving that date around - the 21st is the first day so far as I am concerned.)
