Finalamente Rotovegas 2 Wellington
Today we woke up in Rotorua to a gorgeous day, it was already warm around 0800!
We packed the van and drove into town to get some breakfast (Brekkie) and parked right in front of the "Fat Dog" for an awesome muesli with fresh fruit which was a welcome change after an entire holiday with nothing but Bacon and Eggs for Breakfast :)
After breakfast we drove to the Zorb grounds where we got kicked off a hill in a massive inflated see through plastic ball filled with water..... quite a fun experience to bounce off the hill and against fences like a pinball!!
Next on the program was rafting so we drove back to the camp site where we would be picked up..... they were about 45 minutes late but we got a quick course rafting during the ride and when we got there the rest of the group was just about to load the raft onto the van and hit the water.
Rafting was awesome, we did the Kaituna run which has a 7 meter high waterfall drop, very cool! Next time we are going to try and get a longer tour with some more experienced people, that should be even more awesomerder I reckon.
Once we were done with the rafting we decided that it was time to go home so we could relax through the weekend in the comfort of our mansion to get ready for the new work year.
Drove from Rotorua to Wellington in about 6 hours, some 450km...... again quite a nice drive :)
So, after some pretty 3600km there comes an end to this blog with some final words..
After unpacking the van we found that Our lovely flatmate Nathalie had prepared for our homecoming by cleaning the house and putting down some flowers..... WHAT A DARLING!!
A clean house in combination with our own beds, the wellington view and a decent computer setup make this trip even more awesome, we appreciate what we got even more than before!
be good

Rotorua
Today we left whangarei at leisure, had a nice breakfast and fantastic coffee before we said goodbey. We drove ourselves all the way to Rotorua and found a real nice camp site with got pools and the whole she bang close to the lake. Went out for some beers and nando's and off to bed, getting ready for some rafting and . . . . The Zorbit!

Back to Whangarei
Woke up today in Manukau not completely refreshed but a lot better than yesterday!
We decided not to go back to Matapouri but to head down to Rotorua and Waitomo to see a few attractions and to do some active type stuff.
I called up Chris to ask him to bring the bikes back to welly but the bike rack did not fit his car properly so we HAD to come back to Whangarei to pick up the bikes.
This was a bit of a bummer since it was a 4 hour ride there and then another 4 hours back ... and in the wrong direction of where we wanted to go.............!
We drove to Whangarei and hugged everyone Happy New Year and decided to stay the night at Chris his dad's house, we are playing some Swedish Kubb (Chris made a game himself after having seen the real swedish version and it works just fine :) ) Then we will have ourselves a nice barby and then off to be in time so we can get on the road not too late tomorrow and be on our way to Rotorua or Taupo perhaps.... we'll see.
Had enough of blogging today hahaha
Adios!

Slack Blog
Sorry sorry sorry!
We have been in so many places with super bad or no reception that it was next to impossible to blog, even with my back up solution "sms-blog" I did try to keep up the blogging by writing some posts in a text pad so I will upload those after this post.
There goes.........
