27 June 20 Putangiruru Pinnacles to Masterton

You might recall from our post yesterday, we’d parked up in the incredible entrance to the pinnacles. Totally isolated and the only sound to be heard was the burbling River right next to us.

That was until we were lit up by the headlights of a second campervan and then the continuous opening and closing of doors, cupboards and toilet seat. Literally sounded like they were in our vehicle.

It wasn’t until the next morning we discovered why.. Of the whole carpark, here’s where they chose to stay

There was much, much more parking available than shown in the picture…

Greytown lunch stop and walk around town including a visit to Schoc Chocolates… Mmmm.. Left with some curry and poppadum and lime chilli dark chocolates. 😊 Only to help a small local business in these tough times of course!

curry and poppadum…so weird but good!

A slight detour took us to Stonehenge Aotearoa outside of Carterton.


Having run out of friends who may let us wash our clothes at their place, we ventured out to a laundromat in Masterton and successfully completed the mission with no missing socks! And bonus laptop charging..

  1. Hi Guys

    Thanks for sharing your journey. I’m enjoying the stories and the pictures. Especially keen on Lord Of The Rings references. Who’d have thought Orcs and Trolls would wear undies!?

    I’ve been using the like button to reassure you that your blogs are being read. But not sure if that’s working. Hence this email.

    Steve

  2. Hey Steve
    Yep been getting your likes thanks.

    Gotta say I was getting a bit worried that nobody was seeing them as I hadn’t had that feedback so was good to get.
    Yes, you would have enjoyed weta workshop.. Perhaps something for your next visit?
    Currently in Masterton (returning from Castlepoint) and on way to hawkes Bay and mahia Peninsula over next few days.. Fingers crossed for a Rocket Lab launch on 3rd July.. Would be just awesome!

    Cheers

    Mal and Tiina
