Day 2: Kaitaia to Omapere

After a large hot pie of uncertain content from the bakery, followed by muesli and pancakes at the Gecko cafe, I set off for Mangamuka. The first 18Kms pass through pleasant rolling countryside. I notice the high volume of roadkill. If anyone paid less attention, in school road safety...
