Not such a picture postcard day today. The wind was whipping up white caps on the lake and it was a chilly morning. We had a leisurely start and headed off just before 11. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We were heading to Levin. It was only supposed to be a 4 hour journey but it turned into a 6 hour one. We hit road works around lake Taupo and just sat for ages. Pity Google didn\u2019t tell us beforehand as we could have gone the other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The desert road made up for it though. We found a nice spot overlooking the mountain with a picnic table. Jenny cooked us up some fillet steak from one of Johns cows. So we ate steak sandwiches on the side of the road overlooking mount ruapehu. Delicious . Thanks Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We didn\u2019t arrive at Levin until 5pm and Barry\u2019s mum had organised dinner at the Cobb and co for 6 for Jenny\u2019s early birthday dinner. Barry\u2019s brother and his wife also joined us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all ordered the senior meal which was 3 courses for $38.70. It was yummy! Tonight we are sleeping outside Barry\u2019s mums place, and Jenny and Barry are inside in a proper bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
