No rest for the roaming

Sunday morning found the hungry Waiwera crew at the port in New Plymouth for breakfast!

The earliest opening at @ 9am!

So we wandered around the carpark avoiding the waves crashing over the rock walls

It seems a popular name for small islands near the NZ coastline is Sugarloaf…snap of New Plymouth Sugarloaf! (we have one at Waiwera!)

Breakfast done and it was off to join the next excursion! A cruise into the hills to Midhirst… farm with collection of cars and a hall converted into a mens shed! I went in dans car (gave Rubi a rest) and we followed the old boys , missed a turn somewhere in the hills…

Understandable after navigating one way rock tunnels

And one way bridges! We got there in the end! With a detour!

Just in time to shelter from the rain before heading back to have a nap before another big night….the prizegiving dinner!

After a fantastic weekend of activities Rubi (my red cortina) came 3rd in the Mk4/5 category!!

So two wins for the Bonnici clan this weekend – with the raffle win and the car success!

Three tired kiwis hit the road again on Monday….Dan heading back to Waiwera and Sue and Carolyn heading cross country to Tauranga for a couple of days!

Rubi the Red Cortina turning heads all the way!
