Well it's finally here, the last night in the house. All 3 of us are sleeping on the floor. We head out tomorrow to travel round the North Island farewelling family and friends. 
We went down to Palmerston North last W/E to catch up and say goodbye to friends, on the way home we bypassed state highway 1 and drove the back roads home. I highly recommend this route.
We passed through a series of small towns and found some amazing scenery.

The town of Kimbolton gave us a great view of the valley below. At Mangaweka we came across an old derelict pump house from an abandoned dam project dating back to 1938.
We walked along the Mangaweka river to the old dam, the dam was abandoned when a large log got stuck in the race. The log is still visible. 
Just to think we are leaving this amazing country behind for a while, it’s hard to believe.
