One end to the other

14 February 2011

In the last week we have driven from Pataua South to Wellington. Along the way we have stayed at: the beach reserve at Onerahi, the Silverdale RSA, the BP station at Wairakei (bad move, very noisy) and a friend's farm near Palmerston North.


Onerahi beach reserve - what a lovely place to stay.

Why pay cafe prices when there are places like this on
the side of Lake Taupo where you can stop and make
your own coffee?

In Wellington we've stayed on the Petone foreshore, Ngatitoa Domain (so we could go to a 50th at the Mana Cruising Club) and on the street outside one of the kid's houses.

I think it's fair to say we're pretty comfortable with sleeping pretty much anywhere now. So long as it's reasonably level and there's not too much traffic, it will work for us. At least for just a night or two - we'd prefer a bit more privacy for a long stay.

We're enjoying being back in Wellington and catching up with family and friends. It does feel rather odd to be here and not in our house - today I automatically turned towards 'home' when leaving the supermarket; the bus was parked in the opposite direction.

Not sure where to next. We're waiting to hear about a couple of jobs, but are also considering having the bus painted in Levin over the next couple of weeks.

The view where we parked on Petone foreshore - this is
about 1km along the beach from our house.
