Wellington to Paeroa

30 April 2011

With the family celebrations over, it's time to head back to Whitianga from Wellington. We're off to work in a kiwifruit packhouse; the main season is quite late starting this year.

The North Island was hit by a fair-sized storm this week, so we left Wellington in foul weather on Wednesday. The wind made for exciting driving conditions, including testing how well Craig had installed the new wing mirrors.

Wellington Harbour the day we left.

Of course, I stayed warm and dry while Craig tightened the mirrors.
A very quirky Sanson house.

Main street Bulls.

Beautiful morning light on the Rangatira Golf Course.

And Rangitikei River.
Storm damage between Taupo and Rotorua.
Autumn colours in Rotorua.
Not often we see Te Aroha without its head in the clouds.

  1. Gorgeous photos, I love that quirky house - not so much the gate, but the cute colours of the house!

  2. We lived in Sanson for years and only about 4-5 houses from the quirky one (which wasn't quirky then)

  3. Wow the snapped off pine trees reminded me of Cyclone Bola!
