NZ : South Island Prologue Part 2 – Auckland to Kaikoura

It’s hard for Joe and Flora to make progress some times… even warming up the 990 Adventure can be a challenge, when accosted by questions from a passerby, about what IS a KTM, wow it’s so ORANGE.. wow it’s so BIG!

NZ : South Island Prologue Part 1 – Auckland to Kaikoura

Auckland traffic was messed up. Though we got up quite early, there was no point rushing to leave until the traffic cleared up. We had it pegged at around 9:30, but even when we reached the main road, it still was clogged back all the way up the bridge. All for no particular reason…

New Zealand: West to East – Mysterious East Cape

Gisborne to Te Kaha — We pass over bridges spanning empty river beds, their parched rocks hungry for a taste of mountain water.

New Zealand: West to East – Rock N’ Republic

We start our journey West to East, riding the fattest bit of New Zealand’s North Island. Headed south west towards Te Kuiti, our cunning plan to follow the back roads was thwarted by the damned Garmin box, squawking at us to turn left and right at imaginary roads until it wrote it’s will at the dead end adjacent of a long impassable lake.

New Zealand: Napier – The Art Deco Capital

We tried for an early start, but trying to coax a 4 year old to eat his breakfast in a hurry is out of the question. My sister tried to hurry him along but he wanted to finish watching “Cats & Dogs” for the 40th time before we returned it to the front counter.
