We had a fantastic trip. The weather was unbelievable, the landscape as good as I expected and the company tolerable. As my mate Ray would say, give us your best and worst days and some vital stats. So we covered 803k’s and climbed 8923 metres. Best day was from Gisborne to Wairoa and the worst fighting the traffic out of Napier. Funniest moment was stopping at a roadworks on top of a big climb in the middle of nowhere and the burly, tattooed Maori guy with the stop/go sign taking one look at us, smiling and saying “Well you’re a bunch of crazy c....s” Thanks to Damien for setting up this blog site. It’s really easy to use and a great way to chronicle a trip. Adios amigos!!
