    Day three in the yellow from Taupo to Waihi then up to the Coramandel.

    We left Taupo and passed through the Waikato where we had a quick visit to our old neighbours that are fertiliser pilots.They were just off to a job to dump 100 tonne up the Waihau. 5 hour drive for his Mrs with the extra fuel for the plane. While he took off from Matamata.
    Lunch at Waihi at 1430 where I flicked @Chris a text but as he was at work we thought we will carry on up to the coramadel to Scribes.
    We stayed at Scribes.
