Wheel tracks Blog Archive funeral songs January 17 Rotorua - Wellington
Early breakfast in the hotel room, check-out and departure to Napier on the east coast. The room cost 245 NZD for two nights including 5 NZD for the Internet. As we drive off notes Per in passing that we have half a tank left when we go and think that we thought the road. We take road No. 5 through Taupo to Napier on the North Island funeral songs east coast.
Just before Taupo we pass again through thermal areas, even here the smoke, hissing and bubbling ground. When we passed Taupo becomes closest wilderness areas we drive through, no villages and no refueling. We are trying to assess how far it is and it seems well able to cope. Along the way we travel felled forests on a large scale and it seems that it breaks new ground for grazing or cultivation, but it could also be that it is preparing for reforestation. It rolls many logging trucks along the way and we actually funeral songs see the occasional SCANIA! As we come closer to Napier, we will enter into a mountainous area and there will be abrupt slopes uphill. Just the lamp that signals 10 liters left, or is it 5 liters? We do not really know. The road goes up and the engine is working hard. What pulls the engine here, 2 liters mile or 2.5? But we must not stop on serpentine road in the middle of an uphill, soon there must surely start to go downhill?
Soon we reach the crest and now the meter on red field. Thoughts never New Zealanders on this stretch? May it be a gas station soon. Our desire is met when we were ahead on the left side you will see a miniature tank and we roll. Here the credit card. Soon, it turns out that the machine only takes New Zealand prepaid, there will we recognize when a Danish guy with a Canadian girl running in to refuel while we stand there and try. When she had lived for a while in New Zealand, she had a New Zealand-American and could refuel. They are both friendly and helpful, offering us to refuel on their cards and we pay them with cash. But look there, then it's funeral songs suddenly not their card anymore, probably some money left in your account ...
We can not do anything other than continue funeral songs to run and keep your fingers crossed. After a mil, we can drive into a petrol station in Bay View and fill of 85 liters for 2.09 NZD per liter. Later learned that the tank holds 95 liters, so we had a little margin ...
Location for a coffee at the cafe next to the gas station. It turns out to be not only a café but they also produce funeral songs dried fruit and also sells ice cream with frozen fruit. Frozen fruit and ice cream mix when pressed by a screw and comes out of the cone as a very good sundae. Is this possibly in Sweden wondering glass enthusiast Per. Otherwise, here's a tip for all ice cream parlors! The place is called Berry Tasty and pass some time Bay View so do not miss to try the ice cream!
Strengthened by the ice cream, we continue the journey past the Napier and take road no 2 due south towards Norse Wood. After a couple funeral songs hours of driving in sunshine and rain, we reach Norse Wood, the first of the Scandinavian villages in the "Scandinavian corridor" through the so-called Seventy Mile Bush. Forest as Scandinavians under great hardship cleared funeral songs in the 1860s. As consideration had to include 40 acres of land in the villages that they themselves were clearing out of the woods and a cash consideration of 40. One of these villages is the Norse Wood, others are Dannevirke, Mellanskog (now Eketahuna) and Mauriceville.
We turn in and park along the main street where we immediately see a relay with all the Nordic flags outside. The rain makes a break and we go across the street and step into. A lady sitting and reading a book behind the counter and we begin to question funeral songs in English about the village when Cecilia understand her accent and asks if she is from Norway. Indeed, we move on to our first language, and she says she is from Norway but I live a few months here in Norse Wood each year. Then she fits in to help in the Information. We advocate a bit around the village and she thinks we should see the museum. Per buy a book called Whispering Road, Wellington - Napier, funeral songs Scandinavian Trail and ask for the book Scandinavian Footprint which she believes that we can buy in the coffee shop next door.
We go out and sold out that the rain again pouring down, we stop at the coffee shop on our way to the museum. Kafféägaren tells us that the book we are looking for no longer exists funeral songs and while asking why we want to buy it. Per says he read about it on the internet and think it is an interesting book about the Scandinavians' fates in New Zealand. In his opinion, it is no good when it's about a person (Swede Bror Erik Friberg) as mandated recruited Scandinavians to New Zealand. He proposes instead the book Johanna's World, a historical fiction about a Norwegian family, which better describes funeral songs what life was like for those who come here. He may be right but we hurry on in the rain to the house where the museum is located. It's just stepping into. If you want you pay by putting money in an hour
