A better day today, we could even see Mount Taranaki:
We all felt it was time to get out so we went out for a road trip in Colin to explore the local towns of Manaia (the bread capital don't ya know) and Hawera.
We then visited Huihana’s Uncle in his purple house with purple
car and self-made V8 trike. What can I say, the man has good taste in colour!

| Now that's a trike and a half |
Back to the museum for lunch, it was then time for us to
make our way back home via the surf highway with some epic coastal views:

I was enjoying the drive a little too much. I got stopped by Police – for the 1st
time ever. Here, they can read your speed even when they are travelling TOWARDS you!
Now that’s not fair… But it was a fair cop, I guess. I was fined $120 and will have 20 demerit
points put on my NZ license that doesn’t even exist yet! There is a complete
zero tolerance approach to speeding here on the holidays. No 10% over limit
allowed or anything. I’ll remember that
for next time.....
