Well since my last post I have done a fairly large amount of travelling and cooking.
Some highlights for 2011 so far...
Goodbye Mount Maunganui!
It takes a very long time to travel from the MOunt via Gisborne to Nelson.
The road between Wairoa and Hawkes Bay is improving, with a new section of road opening to make a section a lot safer than it was.
The roads into Kapiti Coast and Wellington are very busy and fast moving except when there are road works.
Te Papa is as great as usual, the European Masters art exhibit was well worth the entry cost.
Crossing on the 2am Interislander is a good opition if you like your space, however you arrive to early in Picton to see any of the Sounds.
The drive through the Queen Charlotte Sounds between Picton and Nelson is lovely, but it takes quite awhile as there is a low speed limit and the road is narrow and a little windy.
Nelson is very nice and has a number of historic houses and buildings.
Founders Heritage Park is a wonderful place much like the 17th Ave Historic Village in Tauranga, but much better.
Takaka Hill is very high and narrow and windy, but there are caves up near the summit that you can tour through.
Cable Bay is a lovely place to camp, but take bug repellant as there are mozzies and sandflys. Not a lot of sand though. We kayaked over half way round Peppin Island but unfortunatley we were the only group to not see any seals :(
