As we woke up, the sun made an appearance through the window, which was nice! We had to leave Wellington behind and continue our journey north. After breakfast, we organised the car once again into camping mode and hit the motorway. We opted to follow Route 2 towards Napier and through the wine region of the North Island. As today is Good Friday, we didn't stop for any wine tasting as everywhere is closed.
We took a short picnic stop but soon continued driving, as many of the towns had little in the way of tourist attractions to visit. Eventually we drove towards a small camping ground by a creek. The camping ground was on the otherside of the stream, which was generally easy to cross. However, due to the recent rain it was rather larger than usual and there was no way we were going to even try to cross it! We moved on and found a quaint camping ground nearby. There was already one person there and he came to introduce himself as we set up. He very kindly gave us some local tips and even lent us a hammer to knock the tent pegs into the rocky ground.
