Drove up to Hamilton, my last overnight stop before returning to Auckland. I stopped off on the way in Cambridge, a horse-breeding town, which I have to say was the nicest NZ town I've been to so far, with tree-lined avenues, parks and river.
Hamilton, by contrast, was a large city with not much going for it.
I drove out to Raglan beach, a surfers paradise, in the afternoon.
The hostel was full of drunken Kiwis [the Oakley-wearing locals, not the birds!], and was possibly the worst hostel I've stayed in!
