Camping in Car Parks ....

We were all up early and had a quick breakfast and shower. We were off at 8.30am. We picked up the 50 so we passed through all the vineyards. All very pretty even though they looked like they'd all been picked.

We headed towards Levin and soon picked up the 2. The roads were so quiet, we made great time.

We stopped off at Otaki Beach. The sun was shining and the beach was beautiful. We had some lunch and had a stroll along the beach. Mam and Dad had their first paddle in the Tasman Sea. It wasn’t too chilly, bit warm actually. We had a good long walk down the beach taking in the view and getting some great photos. We then had a walk back up to the camper.

It was only another hours drive and we pulled into Newlands near Wellington. We had originally planned to visit Wellington but it clocked up 22.7 on the temperature gauge so we pulled into the campsite (well a car park!)

We spent the afternoon sitting in the sun on the picnic table, enjoying some beer/wine and some Dukkah, it’s certainly hard work this travelling!!
