Today, I’m going to come back to Rotorua, in the same camp where I’ve so much difficulties to quit last week :-)
Mangakoni > Rotorua (82km, 4h40)
Category: Bicycle Touring
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 :-)
Taupō, almost day off (35km)
Taupo, almost day off (35km).
This week will be rainy as well but I won’t spend my time in Mcdonald’s, just a few :-). My plan for today : Huka falls, the dam, then swimming pool (to take a good shower), and then Mcdonald’s (to charge my camera).
Step, Port Jackson > Taupo (486km, 9 days)

Visiting the centre of North Island.
Wai-O-Tapu > Taupō (53km, 3h30)
That’s the worst windy day I’ve ever have! I cycled the last 20km front of this bloody wind rah! Like 7 to 13km/h, so loooong. But as my plan was, I’ve reach Taupō, the centre of the north island :-)
Rotorua > Wai-O-Tapu (41km, 2h25)
OK, I really hate to move this time because finally yesterday morning was raining and I stay one day more.
Te Puna > Rotorua (72km, 4h30)
After four days passed in Te Puna where I unexpectedly worked I’m now going inside the north island to see how it looks there.
