Day 311 - Auckland - New Plymouth, New Zealand
Day 311 – 15th April 2006 +11:00 GMT Total Miles 60964
Got up early and packed up our stuff, this is becoming an easy routine. I made some tea and sat and chatted to the hostel owner Campbell, he insisted that I only pay for 2 nights stay which saved us $120. The hostel was superb and I would highly recommend it to anyone staying in Auckland. The rooms are big and airy and the fittings are top quality. Wee chatted for about an hour and then we had to leave as we had a long drive ahead of us. We headed South on the Highway 1, we drove for about 3 hours and stopped at Te Kuiti for some lunch, I felt the food was over priced, $8 for a sandwich. We got back on the road and carried on south for another 2 hours or so until we reached New Plymouth, we checked into the Shoestring Hostel. This place has a huge living room and a huge dining room and a conservatory. We went out for a walk down the main high street and did some food shopping as all the shops are shut tomorrow. We then went out and ordered some Pizza from hell (Hell being a really cool New Zealand pizza chain) We then had a bottle of wine and sat and watched a movie.
