Sky Waka Gondola

We have this thing about cable cars, so we couldn't resist going on the Sky Waka up Mt. Ruapehu the top station as t at 2020 metres AMSL.
Beautiful trip up, but as we reached the top we were into cloud, and unfortunately the walk we were going to do had been closed as you could hardly see the path.
So a leisurely coffee at the top and we headed back down, only this time the cloud base was even lower, all the way to the bottom, very eerie.

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.

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.

First Campsite

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.
