Movin' along
20 Tuesday February 2007 Filed in: Travel
After
climbing the mountain we drove not to the camping
site we where before but maybe 50 kilometers
south to a village named Okanuna. I was a bit
tired so that distance was long enough. We came
to another Top 10 Park, but to our surprise we
did not get that friendly welcome as we had on
the other places. It was a young girl that just
did here duty as she probably thought herself.
But with no service mind at all. The camper-van
got its place though and Susanne got her room to
sleep in, it was big and had a eating alcove.
We decided to move from this village, a ski-resort, early in the morning. I went to buy some breakfast in the local grocery-store. The early customers in the store was mostly Maori and boy are they tall and strong. Some of the mans where longer than Rickard and four times his width. I could understand that they see themselves as warriors.
Well the rest of the day we spent driving down to Wellington via Masterton. Masterton is a little town where Peter Jackson is supposed to have his other house, the first one is in Wellington. We had been driving down a completely flat landscape before and a bit after Masterton and we did only have about 30 km left to Wellington when suddenly a green jungle mountain appeared in front of us, we had to go really slow up the dwindling roads up to 555 m above the sealevel. They probably don't have the knowledge to build tunnels in this country.
In the avning we came to Lower Hutt where we should stay for the next 2 nights. Lower Hutt is a little city just outside Wellington.
