Paeroa

We booked the ferry to South Island for the 5th March, we have finished our list for Northland (above Auckland), apart from more beaches, but we've had enough of those for the moment  so we thought it would be good idea to head south get through the Auckland traffic and start the next phase down to Wellington.
A handy free stopover in Paeroa, the home of "Lemon and Paeroa" soft drink! No we hadn't heard of it either.

Preparation

Less than a week to go, flights have been booked since August and campervan booked on arival at Auckland. We have packed everything we need (hopefully) in 2 backpacks. If we have missed anything we will just buy it there. We head to Carlisle on the train from Braystones on Monday, overnight in the County Hotel Carlisle and catch the 6.47am train to Euston on Tuesday 6th Feb. If all goes well we fly out of Heathrow to Frankfurt then to Singapore and finally to Auckland where we pick up our campervan from Barefoot Campers.

We needed to get the van sorted how we like it and to overcome the jetlag, so we booked this site for 3 nights. Right next to a black sand beach, great for surfing, but not swimming, I little too rough. The site has a camp kitchen with about 6 electric hobs a few fridges and boiling water on tap and the all important Dump Point. For all types of waste water. Good site and friendly fellow campers.
