We checked out of our hotel and spent the morning wandering around Auckland awaiting Lauren’s arrival. After lunch we met her off the airbus at the harbor and got straight on the train to Otahuhu where we were to collect our camper-van from. We spent the 25 minutes on the train catching up and almost missed our stop!
When we got to the camper-van depot there was no record of our booking, however it turned out that the company had accidentally made our reservation for 2010. There was luckily a free van and after sorting out the paperwork we were on the road in Daisy (this is what we decided to name her).
We drove to Manakau where we did a big food shop and by this time it was getting late so we grabbed something to eat. We then got back on the road to Paeroa where we stayed the night at a campsite.
We were pleasantly surprised the following morning when we got up and opened the curtains as we were staying just across a gorge in a beautiful setting and there was a stream where we washed and brushed our teeth. Lee was very tempted to go for a swim but the water was so cold that he decided against it.
