Today I woke up, got ready, and headed straight to car rental place near Auckland Airport. Since this trip north was last minute, I would be turning in my last minute car for another that I'd use to get to the south island where I would eventually pick up my campervan. I needed to turn in the one, then pick up the other. I know, confusing. I drove to the first place, put my stuff in the new car, then drove to the other to turn it in. Then they drove me back to the first to drop me off.
I then drove to Whanganui Top 10 where I’d stay the night. The drive, mainly the last half, was what I came to NZ for. Rolling hills, and sleep slopes covered in sheep or cows. Reminded me of the south island. No place to pull over so there weren’t many opportunities to take pics unfortunately. Other than that it was another long day of driving. I got in around 7 PM and set up my tent by the river. Should be a good night I hope. Tomorrow I take the ferry over to the south island, which is where I feel like the real fun begins!
