The Final Countdown!

So we were looking for a tyre place only to find out NZ needs 2 public holidays to recover from their hangovers after New Year. Well this put us up a creek without a new tyre so we pulled into a supermarket and I took the spare out and replace the front wheel. Thanks to Ford this is really easy as the tools are in the drivers foot well and the spare is on a winch drop down from the back. Amanda found the spare and while I changed it Amanda was of shopping.

Then we headed on to Rotorua were we had dinner and went to the spa which after a long old drive was very nice to do. From here we headed north a little and stopped of for the night in a LCP which gave us Internet, Power and showers in the morning, it was someone’s house but more that good enough for us.

Thursday, From here we clocked up the miles and stopped of at Hamilton to get a new tyre. We also popped to the Post Shop to see about sending home the Honey but at £50 we decided to carry it instead, all 6Kg of it!

We got up to Henderson late in the afternoon and stopped to say Thank You and bye to Grant, Sheryl and Sam before we headed on to get the van washed and hovered  at washworld. From here on to Waiwera and to the pub to have dinner with Lois and her sister. This before an evening of packing everything into our bags,

The next morning we were of to the airport and of to Hawaii, 7 weeks in NZ were over, but Ill be back.
