On our last night in Taupo we went out for our evening meal at the Cossie Club, to celebrate my birthday. Certainly enjoyed a lovely meal – but then, the food is always great here. We started with a huge whitebait fritter for our entre, big enough to share. Can’t remember when we last had a meal of whitebait, but it was sure to be ages ago. This was followed by Pork Belly, always a favourite of ours, and this tasted divine.

The next day, Thursday, we started our trip to Wanganui. Not a very pleasant trip at all with the strong gusty winds rocking the van around. Traveling along the Desert Road the temperature kept dropping lower and lower, finally settling at 3 degrees! The mountain was invisible, covered in mist and clouds, but I knew it was there, somewhere.

We arrived at Kai Iwi Beach Holiday Park by mid afternoon. Five other vans decided to arrive on Thursday as well, to make the long 3 day holiday weekend even longer.

Other members rolled into camp on Friday, and there was much catching up to do. We were playing hosts as a steady stream of caravan club members called in to check out our new van.

Happy Birthday to you, Jenny! Your celebration looks delicious. I love the sound of pork belly....yum! It certainly looks as if you have the time of your life touring in that fabulous van of yours. Have a wonderful with your fellow 'vanners'.
