How Was New Zealand?

Back To North Island

Photo of our campsite outside RaglanWe had a night out in Hamilton with Toni, whom we met in South Africa. After having too many beers yet again, we went for a surf the next day at the beach at Raglan. It was too busy, so we went to Stent Road, at Taranaki again, hoping that we would score it this time.

 

We woke in the morning to see Drew Courtney, Jeremy Walters, Tom Whitaker and Blair Stewart shredding. Surfing with those guys for 2 days was a bit humbling (for them), but we still managed the time to build some quality fires and drink a few beers. We left Taranaki for the last time and headed up to Auckland to catch our flight to Fiji.

Back in Auckland Steve and I went up the Skytower, and we managed to sell the car for $400, meaning that it had only cost us $100 to thrash it for 5 weeks. Not bad really.
