Well I'm not going to be in Palmy on Sat night like I thought I was so I prob won't come up to Taupo anymore. Sorry guys - another one bailing. Maybe we should organise one for a time when more people are available.

We won't be staying in Taupo as I never heard back from anyone & I have not been able to find any accommadation as the place seems to be booked out & neither of us want to stay in a tent so we will be going from Tauranga on Sunday down to Dannevirke to see my Father, then back to Wgtn on Monday.
Hope you guy's who are going to Gisborne have booked somewhere to stay as we were in Gisborne last year at Easter & it was pretty well booked out.
Also remember that there wont be much open on Good Friday & Easter Sunday

Arse biscuits. I usually travel by the seat of my pants, but I guess with 3 people one has to plan.

I am sure there will be a work-around.

Okay yay no leaks!

I'll try and ring around today and find out cabin availibility. You guys keen on tents? I'm a wuss and am not :-).

Can you handle a backpackers?

**Kendog** · 12th April 2006, 09:43

Also not keen on tents.

Backpackers would be a fine as a last resort. Let me know how you get on.

Taupo does not sound promising, may need to look elsewhere.

I just cancelled a studio unit at www.clevedonmotel.co.nz in Rotorua if it's not too far out of the way for you. There is still some hotel accommodation left in Rotorua and split three ways it is not too expensive so Taupo may still have some too.

There's a few from Rotorua doing the east cape on sunday as a day trip here

**Kendog** · 13th April 2006, 06:29

New plan for the ride.

Friday = Wgtn to Rotorua
Saturday = Rotorua to Rotorua (round Coro loop)
Sunday = Rotorua to Gisborne (round East cape)
Monday = Gisborne to Wgtn

Confirmed are myself, Limbimtimwim and RFC85

More than happy to meet up with anyone along the way.
