Today is a nice day and I’m going to continue my trip towards Auckland. I’ve plenty of time but as every time I prefer to anticipate. Geordie, Carissa and her family are really nice people and I had a good time yesterday night. Finally it was a good thing to not have crossed the “Whitecliffs walkway” yesterday and even more better because I’ve seen the cliffs! Maybe if I had continued onto the difficult track I couldn’t see the coast side. So this is two positive things :-)

Step, Taupo > East Cape (477km, 6 days)
Mangakoni > Rotorua (82km, 4h40)
Mangakoni, day off
Taupō > Mangakino (55km, 3h10)
Hey! Today is finally sunny cool :-) So, I’m going to Mangakino because of many points :
- it’s not the same road as I took between Rotorua and Taupō (because I will pass through to continue to Whakatane and to the east cape)
- it’s not a main road (less trucks)
- there is a lake there as well
- there is also four free camps sites closed to each other
- and I’m waiting for the answer of Russell and Mangakino is almost on the way to go to Tauranga or Rotorua.
- and that’s enough :-)
