As I’ve got older I’ve noticed how I can’t do the big marathon drives I used to do but I suppose some of this has to do with the fact that I’m now driving a 4 plus ton Motorhome, not a Mini or something.

Coming back for our last night away from our post Covid few days away from Whakatane, I decided I’d had enough just as I descended down the Tauranga Kaimai road and that Coffee lounge in Matamata never looked better 🙂 We sat down to a lovely all day Eggs Benny and it was just lovely washed down with some great coffee.
After that, it was off to a place I’ve been to once before just out of town called Opal Springs.
They have plenty of powered and non powered sites along with some cabins and they also do a discount for NZMCA’rs.
We stopped in and were met by Vanessa who remembered me from a couple of years ago and pointed us in the right direction. Its a great setup with the powered sites all up on a plateau overlooking the pools down below.
It wasn’t long after we arrived, we were off down to the pools where we met a couple from Orewa who were having a Covid breakaway too.
There are several pools with a really hot Private Pool and a Spa as well. Nice spot, nice people, nice and quiet with great facilities and a really reasonable price.

Hi Chris, really enjoying your blogs, would you mind telling me what you use to track and map your travels.
Cheers

Hi Mike
I have a Sensium Tracker installed in the truck. It records all sorts of stuff from our travels. I simply screen grab the map it produces.
Cheers
