Which part of a the North Island? I toured both islands in a Kea camper a few years ago, and made Papakura my home base while on the North Island. Camped by Lake Taupo too. Beautiful country.
Oh thats awesome to hear guys! Im in hastings, if you're ever this way let me know, hopefully i'll have a bike by then! Been daydreaming all day about it...
I don't think I ever got over to Hastings. I went from Wangarei to Wellington along the west coast, and probably not much farther east than Rotorua. Ever been to the Guana Bar in Wellington?
