We're rich! - Blogabond

May 31
We stayed the night at the base of Mount Maunganui, which was situated in the perfect spot by the beach.
However, we woke with a start to the noise of the campsite toilet block being smashed to the ground by a big digger, at 7am in the morning! Don't these people know that life's a holiday?
After having a shower in a porta-shower (we were paying for all this luxury), we headed off and walked to the Summit of Mount Maunganui. It was an amazing view from the summit.

During our time in Oz and New Zealand we have looked through many shops for perfect bikinis to no avail, except in this small town we struck gold! Trace bought 2 bikinis - Result, I don't think we need to look anymore!

It was then time to hit the road once more, heaed off for the next 250km section.
We went through Paeroa, which is where the world famous in New Zealand drink L&P (Lemon and Paeroa) was founded. So we decided we had to stop in a garage and buy a bottle - this stuff really makes you burp.

New Zealand really does have everything - because we managed to get stuck in a traffic jam as so far we have hardly seen any traffic.

We got to Warkworth in trying to find ourselves a free spot for the night, but this area seems a bit too built up for that. So found a space at Sheepworld for the night. We were greeted and shown round by an absolute mad character called Ian, but quality salt of the earth type of guy.
