On the road again!
After over 6 months not being able to do tours finally back on the road after being arm twisted by a consultant to do a 6 day kiwi group tour Auckland down around the East Cape and back to Auckland. The condition of doing it was they employ a baggage handler that could also act as back up driver for me, a condition set by my physio and surgeon. Original start date was set for December.
A lovely group of retired Kiwi’s, some not very agile. So a slow pace tour. My first ever kiwi tour group as I would normally not do this sort of tour.
Day one was an easy drive. Morning tea stop Waihi, lunch Mt Maunganui. Then Kiwifruit Country followed by Comvita Honey and night stop Whakatane.
Today its on around the East Cape as far as Hicks Bay. I love this part of the country so hopefully my group will to.
A request for Gisborne was to adjust our agenda for a later start so they can watch the replay of the rugby. That I am very happy to accommodate but it turns out its not hard to do as the replay starts at 5.30am.
Now off to breakfast ready for day 2. Yeah!
