Thursday – Stratford to Wanganui

This morning was a clear and crisp start, however according to the weather man it was not set to last, so we were up and out heading once again up the mountain to the East Egmont Plateau.  Not before checking the internet for the football results of course (as the match was on at 3am this morning, and only Sky2 seems to show it…which no one seems to have!).  After hearing that England are through we set off on the road happy campers!

We went optimistically to the same viewpoint that we had visited yesterday, and the contrast was amazing!

We were happy that the weather had been kind, if only it was just for a couple of hours this morning.

Next we drove south to Wanganui and had a wander around the city centre, stopping at the Whanganui River Boat Centre to read about the importance the river has had over the years since early European settlement.

Late in the afternoon we checked into our campsite for the night, the Castlecliff Holiday Park.  And, Ben deliberated over where to put his new souvenir!
