I was supposed to put in the consecutive posts about the road trip from Wellington right through to Ahipara, but we got too busy and now we are in Australia so I'll just give the highlights:
*Camping in Taupo - always pretty and totally love the jumping cushion
*Visiting with Nana and Grandad in Auckland
*Testing the new toll road between Auckland and Whangarei
*Passing my license test - finally! Special thanks to Grans cornies and stewed apple - Clarke kids you know the drill.
*Dinner, drinks and catching up with old friends and family in the rei
*Ahipara - 'nuff said
*Swimming at Waipu Cove
*Totally smooth flight to Brisbane
*Making $2 australian dollars on the internet kiosks - a sign of things to come...? Trip photos to follow.
So here we are, currently staying in Rosewood near Ipswich and heading to the Sunshine Coast today. It is hot - not that we weren't expecting it - but acclimatising is taking its sweet time. We watched the kiwis get beaten last night, and now have tickets to the game on Friday where hopefully we can take it home. Look out for us sporting the Bowler beige brigade digs.
