To Palmerston North and beyond

Travelling past vineyard after vineyard and orchard after orchard in the Hawkes Bay area we then headed back west towards Palmerston North. The scenery forever green. Wonder what the population of cows are in NZ? as seem to have seen just as many fields with cows in as sheep!
Just before PN we pass through the most amazing gorge, Manawatu. Above it the land covered in wind turbines.
Palmerston North is a university town, Massey University and has a renowned Rugby museum. We travelled through it and on to the coast to camp at Hamitanga beach.
