Muse in a Museum
muse
– (verb) to be absorbed in thought
– (noun) an instance or period of reflection
I think museums are great places to visit.
There is a vast array in New Zealand and they vary tremendously from small personal collections in garages to fantastic displays in swish buildings with air-con, shiny floors and a pricey cafe.
Todays post is about the British Car Museum which we stumbled upon last October during a visit to Hawkes Bay.
It is not swish but it’s most certainly interesting and I can honestly say I’ve never seen anything else like it.

Blue toes at Blue Springs
We are very fortunate to have so many beauty spots in New Zealand and coming from the UK I still relish the fact that most are quiet and free with a tremendous lack of commercialisation.
There are free car parks at most of these gorgeous locations and generally there are not any ice cream/hot dog/bucket & spade vans touting their wares (but actually I think there have been times when we could have sold cold drinks or cups of tea from the bus and it would have been welcomed!).
One of my favourite spots (so far) is The Blue Spring / Te Waihou Walkway near Putaruru.

Falling waters of New Zealand
There are many in New Zealand.
Breathtaking beautiful, many are dramatic and quite spectacular.
Big, small, narrow, wide.
But all impressive in their own way.

It rained.

Getting historical in an Auckland Regional Park
After our stay in Thames we drove over the tremendously new Kopu bridge (with NO queuing in traffic) and set off around the East Coast Road to the other side of the Firth of Thames.
We drove up to Tapapakanga Regional Park, just south of Orere Point, where we found two wonderfully located
seaview/beachfront campsites …. for tents. Read More…
