We left the campsite after an early breakfast, our aim being to arrive in Wellington just after rush hour.
We arrived in good time, passing many mid-sized towns with the mandatory ... KFC, McDonalds, Burger King and Subway!
We negotiated the streets of Wellington and collected our Indonesian visas from the Embassy, without any problems. Then we headed straight out again on route 1 to the north.
We stopped for rest breaks and a picnic lunch but drove and drove and ... drove! Just before dark, we found a new Department of Conservation campsite near lake Taupo with its own wood burning stove!
