That’s the longest travel I’ve done until now and I made another speed record as well! 75,8 km/h!! But always in safety, without any car or truck around, sure! I’m not crazy.
Rotorua > Ohope (97km, 4h35)
Category: New Zealand
Mangakoni > Rotorua (82km, 4h40)
Today, I’m going to come back to Rotorua, in the same camp where I’ve so much difficulties to quit last week :-)
Mangakoni, day off
As the forecast has predicted the rain is with us for the day. So, I won’t move anywhere. There is absolutely nothing to do here. Just stay in my tent, read and eat or eat and read.
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, last day
Today has every the weather is grey grey grey but there is only a few little showers so I can do the last visit around Taupō.
Taupō, second day off (25km)
Today today… what can I do… there is different things to do and visit but it’s difficult to find the motivation with all this clouds above my head. I write always about the weather but since about two weeks it’s like this grrr! I WANT SUNNY AND WARM DAYS!
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).
