    Ditto. I used to go this way quite a lot but hadn't done it for a while when I got lost and ended up in Hammyhole (truly a fate not to be wished on your worst enemies). Still can't work out which turning I missed.

    To be honest this time of year dude Id just go via matamata to Taupo then SH1 all the way down. Specific to this time of year cos yea SH1 is busy but the backroads are choked with tourists doin 70 in a 100
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
