Wednesday, April 27, 2005@11:23 pm
Well... Went to Cape Reinga today... started off at about 8.30 am... Reached Whangarei by around 11 something I guess... Guess what... the parking fee there only cost 40 cents per hour... damn sooo cheap... Then have a Japanese lunch there... after tht... Continue or journey... LONG one... Reach Nine miles beach... nice one tho... but too windy and sandy... soo didn't manage to take pic there... Anyway... nth special tho... Just a beach... was meant to stay in Top 10 holiday parks... but the room tht we wanted just took by the previous customer... and the rest of the rooms were like small or not comfortable... Oh well... So we end up deciding probably we can stayed in Bay of Island there... coz there also have Top 10 Holiday parks... bought a bracelet from there souvenier shop there...
So then... continue our journey to Cape Reinga at about 3 something... finally we reached there about 5.... soooo tired sitting in the car... and the road was like... rocky, sandy, bend here and there up and down hills... sighz... but with the good timing by the time we reached there it's sunset times... of coz... really really nice scenery... but it's like super windy... Wind almost blew me off... Oh well.. it's okay then... there got a lighthouse and pole showing where is equator and some countries with the km away from there... Of all... really nice scenery... but we have to go before dark... so quickly by taking a few pics then off we go... and yea... we reached the starting of motorway 1... yesh...!
So... now... on the way to Bay of Island... was totally horrible... started off from Cape Reinga was like about 6 or something b4 6pm... Long drive tho... cuzzie drive faster... abit! but it's getting darker and darker.... halfway to Bay of Island... uh oh... we were kinda ran out of petrol... and passed by most of the petrol station were closed... Oh... oh... finally... reached a small town... there got a Petrol station still opened... LUCKILY!!! phew~! So continue to Russell... Long way to go... By the time we reached Opua we found out tht we need to take ferry to Russell... so while waiting for the ferry... so deciding why not we booked the room 1st... Unfortunately... the reception there had closed oredi... so... then... ok fine... Kinda pissed oredi... deciding just drove back here then...
It was like about 9 something and we hadn't had our dinner yet... Soo hungry... So just continued our drive to Whangarei... by the time we reached there was like about 10 something... only and only fast food was opened is Burger king... Oh well.. nvm then... just had something rather than starving...but on the whole road was like no other car and it was really really dark... see nothing in front... so kinda freak me out... Oh well... tried not to think about it.. Keep toking crapz... Finally, we reached Auckland... whew~! by the time we reached was like 1 am oredi... soooo tired... backbone also straight....
Can u imagined sitting in the car most of the time from 8.30 am to 1 am... was totally crazy! but I guess the most tiring person should be my cuzzie... coz she's the one who drove! aww.... Guess... tht's all about my trip.. Not really cleared of the whole trip but it just something like tht... Laterz!
