Safe travels, UP. Have a blast!

Well, today we passed through two villages STers can identify with - Rawene (pronounced like Raw Wienie) and Paihia (pronounced like Pie Here). We are out to the Cape Reinga Lighthouse (northern most place sort of) tomorrow.

Have a great trip! I can't wait to hear about it.

UP -

How's the ST13 running? And do they ride/drive on the correct side of the road..... or the English side?

Yes we ride on the correct side of the road here, the left side

 

[Firstpeke]

We Scots also drive on the correct side of the road..........

 

[Uncle Phil]

Not necessarily correct - just 'proper' ....

Sounds like a dream trip. Looking forward to the report.

 

[Uncle Phil]

In Orewa tonight - some mighty fine roads between Pie Here and Or We Are ...

Sounds like your having a blast, and the weather is set to be fairly decent in the North Island over the weekend.

You might find this handy over the next week or two

Have you posted any pictures yet? If so where?

Look forward to hearing all your tales at FerrySTOC.

UP-keep havin fun. Trip sounds like a blast. Lookin for some pics?

 

[Uncle Phil]

Well, in Tongairio tonight. Internet is a bit sparse - 30 minutes at one setting then you have pay after that. So no real time to post pictures. Took over 200 just today! Tough job, but somebody's got to do it ...

Lucky you, the fronts expected to pass over in early hours of Wednesday morning.
Should be a bit damp then clearing by noon.
Have you had any rain to speak of?
