Long White Cloud Country
We even had a seniors Dinner last night.3 course for NZD $27.00
From New Plymouth to Hastings 428klm
After a hearty breakfast of muesli and full cream milk we set off on the day’s adventure. The fog has not lifted as we head out from the motel.
Vic again in his wisdom sets the GPS to a different route than the highway, as we wanted to see Mt Taranaki but with fog and the rain it was just impossible, so we drove around the mountain in the National Park only seeing the bubbling springs on a very narrow road, We drove for over an hour and “Karen “said to head for Opunke so we took this road as it follows the South Taranaki Bight down the coast. We did not see the ocean as the rain was constant and the sea fog so thick.
We drove through Wanganui and stopped at Bulls for a NZ Pie for lunch where everything is like no udder.Passing the Ruahine Range which we could not see in the distance, through to Dannevirke a Viking heritage town and onto Hastings which the apple country of NZ and of course we are staying in the Apple Motel (Vic takes me to all the best places ..not) and now the sun is filtering through the clouds yeah
