Our return to Auckland was primarily to collect excess baggage we left with Dot’s sister, Mary,once this was back on board Gypsy Rover we were ready to head back down South. Wednesday morning we left Auckland, destination Lake Karapiro South of Cambridge. Using the extended airport motorway we avoided a lot of traffic and this took us out onto the main SH1 motorway Just north of Hamilton at Taupiri we turned off to avoid Hamilton city along what has been designated SH1B. This took us cross country through to Cambridge which was just 15 minutes from our final destination.
At the Moana Roa Reserve we found caravan club buddies Robin and Jenny who had travelled down from Hamilton where they had just had a new hot water tank fitted to their caravan. We found suitable parks and set up camp for the night. Scenically it’s a lovely spot but it is noisy due to SH1 passing by within a couple of hundred yards.Needless to say we didn’t sleep too well.
