We took a scenic route along Highway 27 through Matamata for our journey from Rotorua to
the Auckland airport. Eventually we travelled along a big bay called the Firth of Thames. We were
less than an hour from Auckland on a Saturday, there was very little traffic so we pulled off
the highway and had a picnic lunch. This was a very fitting end to our time in New Zealand.

 This tank of gas cost over $100nz.
Fortunately the island is small enough that we only needed to do a complete refill of the tank twice. |
