Things are getting better. Got a good nights sleep and did our tech scout to Coromandel Peninsula and looked at beaches and bluffs. Spectacular scenery! Tomorrow we take a charter plane to the South Island overnight and back to Auckland on Friday. I spoke with CamB last night and he's going to try and get us to some car races this weekend. Combination of rain and sun, and in the 70s. Not too bad.
