B&D in NZ Part 4: Bay of Plenty


The fourth part of our trip takes us from Waitomo to the Bay of Plenty. We decided to camp in a small town called Matata about halfway between Tauranga and Whakatane. During the day we swam and relaxed on the beach. 

The night sky in this area was amazing. Unfortunately, for some reason I didn't take any photos of it. The clouds kept rolling in and on the last night we found ourselves waking up in a very wet tent. There was a chance between the downpour to quickly get our camp packed up and back on the road. 

Rain continued for pretty much the rest of the trip. We made a brief stop in Rotorua to see some geothermal activity. I would have liked to see more but the weather wasn't cooperating. New Zealand is going into it's rainy season so at least it was expected.
