Decided to break the cycle of driving every day by skipping ahead on the itinerary and driving direct to Rotorua in the North and staying there for 2 nights so we would have time to visit and do stuff properly. Should have been a 6 hr drive as the roads were fast. Very windy still - van was being blown about all over the place.
Next thing a tyre blew doing 100 km/hr on a long straight! Unbelievable! Took almost 2 hours to change it by the roadside in the rain. Not happy :(
Well sheer determination payed off and we got going again. Still mega windy down something called Desert Highway but made better progress.
Got to Rotorua around 7pm tired and dirty. At least the weather is a lot better now so fingers crossed for tomorrow.....
