Taupo

First lift was with a guy named Dale. Cool guy. He's actually heading to Thames (see map in previous entry) but I decided to get him to drop me in Taupo because I needed a wee and some food and a smoke and a pint. I toyed with the idea of doing a little busking too, but time marches on ( Read more... )

Holy shit!

You guys drive on the left side of the road in NZ?! I never knew that!

Beautiful piktures. You're taking such an interesting journey!

166 countries drive on the right side of the road.
74 countries drive on the left side of the road.

Did ye not? I thought we'd indulged in some mutual good natured ribbing on that subject ages ago. Perhaps that was someone else...

The journey gets more interesting when I start heading into areas I've never been before, and where there is no cellphone reception.

First sight of Lake Taupo is gorgeous, I like that one best :)
And brown beaches? That's unheard of here unless its a mangrove area in which case it isn't a beach but... mangroves. Underwater trees at high tide!

Stunning photos, even through the windshield. Keep them coming! YAY!
Have fun and be safe out there :)

Hey Clairey! I got better ones from the next stage of the journey.

I'm using Simon's laptop, and can see that I overbrightened a lot of those photos. I still have the originals, though, so I can correct it later.
