The last leg of our journey took us back over the Rimutaka mountain range,
back across Cooks Strait to the north island and up to Lake Taupo.
Got some great advice around the communal barby to visit Waiwera and Goat Island in the north once we get settled in Auckland. Speaking of which, Karen and I were greatly relieved to secure an apartment for the next four weeks as the motor home goes back today.
As much as I wish we had more time to camp out around the south island, we are all looking forward to the change of pace associated with staying in one place.
We "hired" a nice place in an old building (gentrified neighbourhood) with 2 bedrooms 2 baths and 12' ceilings ... right downtown Auckland... a chance to experience true "city" life and get M+M back on routine / catch up on school work etc.

I love the "contact" this blog affords. The house sounds nice. You've missed a couple of days of really nasty weather in Canada. What are you doing for "school" with Mitchell?
love from Sonya
School chmool...this trip is education at its best! :) And what about Mookie? I guess she is lucky to have a "one on one" sit'n with her very own Grade 6 teacher aka Mom.
Hi Mr. Vanderhoden,
I hope you are enjoying the trip, the pictures are wonderful! I am a friend of Mitchell, please tell him we miss him, and hope you all are having loads of fun!
Shifa :)
