a hundred years ago, in the summer school holidays our family would pile in a MK2 Zephyr and trek from Hawkes Bay to Tapu for a couple of weeks. From memory it took near on 10 to 12 hours to get there, the car used to boil at the same point along the Napier-Taupo road, which in those days was real car sick material, and we went through our repitoire of travelling songs many times over before we finaly got there. Friends of the family had a farm at Tapu. I remember old tram carriages that we used to play in. We had good times at Tapu, and seeing these photos reminded me of those summer days..Thankyou for that.
