BFG Rave Runs: New Zealand: north island

Jan 20, 2006.

5k along Highway 1 (background) adjoining the sea. Stayed at Coastal Motor Lodge.



Auckland, Jan 22, 2006. Ran two rounds around the block, including Myers Park just adjacent to apartment at Queens Street.


This is the view from Sky Tower in Auckland. At 328 metres Sky Tower is the tallest tower in the Southern Hemisphere, offering breath-taking views for more than 80 kilometres in every direction.

Lake Taupo, Cascades Motor Lodge (by the lake). Jan 25, 2006. Ran along lake to Lake Terrace track (all the way to big tree after Hula Street).


PS: This motor lodge was recommended by Poh Choo and Francis. Thanks, guys!

Napier, Jan 28, 2006. Large town, known for art deco. Pix: Visit to Te Mata winery


Coromandel, North Island, New Zealand.

Westminster Lodge, Mountain Road at Rotorau. Jan 30, 2006. Two runs, the first downhill and the second uphill. Managed to make it up to the top the hill though it was a little of a struggle.
