Waitomo.

Hello from Waitomo!

Upon reflection, a couple of things have been different about this trip:

We've all been sleeping earlier and waking up early, at about 7-7.30am. It's meant that we've been able to arrive at attractions at opening time, before the summer crowd descends. It's also meant that we can enjoy busy activities in the morning and rest from mid-afternoon onwards. A good balance of activities and rest is my idea of a good holiday.

We also cooked and froze several meals before we left. These were our dinners, packed into a cooler bag on journeys and popped straight into the freezer upon arrival. They stayed frozen until we needed them. It's meant minimal prep time for a homemade meal on our road trip. It's a lesson learned from our camping days and something I'd like to do more of moving forward. Fried rice, hoisin mince beef noodles, spaghetti bolognese, and Japanese curry noodles were a few meals we had on this trip. 

Second last day of our road trip. Homeward bound tomorrow!
