On Wellington Anniversary weekend we decided to add an extra day and have a couple of nights in Taupo, followed by a night in Napier. Here are the first of a series of photos.
 |
| It's not often one sees Ruapehu this clearly from Stormy Point. |
 |
| A group of six Can-Am Spyders was stopped at Taihape when we stopped for lunch. |
 |
I stood in front of our motel in Taupo, with camera, to see what was going past.
I saw this AMC Javelin from a distance, hence the blurry shot. |
 |
| MGB GT passing.... |
 |
| ...and a Fendt tractor ! |
 |
Nice VW Type 2 camper.
The price of a good one of these is huge now. |
 |
| Robinson R44 leaves with another load of joy-riders, just north of Taupo. |
 |
| Big Scania with aerodynamic coach work is only 4 months old. |
 |
| 2014 Kenworth T409 at Taupo. |
 |
| Nearby was this 2015 Volvo FH with 540hp of the company's 12.8 litre six. |
 |
While I was taking photos this Kenworth K200 returned from having a wash.
According to the driver it has been on the road since November 2018 and has already had a replacement engine. |
Thanks for taking the time to share these excellent photos with us. I enjoy the photos that you provide in each of your articles. Have a wonderful rest of your day.
