Trip North part 1

Today marks my month back in New Zealand, and boy has it been a busy month. It seemed our dinner parties were one after another and then we were off to Auckland to pick up our friend, Megan. Glenn bought a car while I was back in the States and you won’t believe this but the car was almost as much as our bikes. Actually the car was less then the cost of both our mountain bikes and yes the car does run. Our variegated green Toyota Cressida actually runs pretty well though it could use a paint job. We started out on our adventure North with Courtney, a friend we made from the states that needed to get to Auckland to meet up with her family that flew in for a visit to New Zealand. On the Thursday the 2nd of December we hit the road in our green machine. It was a relaxing trip and we made a few stops to stretch our legs and take a look at a few of the shops along the way. Glenn even got to catch up with some old friends.


These great characters where made out of papier-mâché and were sitting in front of a cool little gift shop somewhere between Napier and Taupo.
