We spent the morning organising our next few days using the campsite wifi which wasn't really the best. After breakfast, we drove 5 minutes to visit Huka Falls. This 9 foot waterfall of water from Lake Taupo was interesting but I'm glad we didn't pay to see it. Later that morning, we decided to use the library and organise ourselves a bit better. The weather forecast for the next two days was very good with lots of sunshine throughout the day, but after that, f...

Feeling fresh and full from our breakfast of toast spread heavily with our new honey, we set off for the day! We had been informed that Wellington Museum was a must see so that was our first stop. The museums name was Te Papa and was possibly one of the best I've ever been too. Each floor was a different section of history. Now, New Zealand doesn't have anything like as much history recorded as the UK but that actually made some of it very easy to follow and un...

A perfect nights sleep for free! I love freedom camping! We were woken by the revving engines of some of the other campers heading to Picton for early ferries.

We happened to park outside an Aquarium so we thought we'd at least enquire. It was just opening and the chirpy guy on reception o...

I woke up bright as a button, so excited for the wine tasting tour. I'm not much of a 'wine' person so I'm not quite sure why I was so excited but I was! We spent the early morning preparing the Campervan, making breakfast and getting glam for our tour. I had a shower early so my hair could dry, then I straightened my hair for the first time in a month, and put a face of make up on! The tour company was Marlborough Wine Tasting Tour (very original) and I found ...

I could hear the rain drops pouring down on our van, so I really didn't want to get up. We ended up sleeping in until gone 8am. Despite the lie in being a lovely start to the day, on arriving at the public showers (2 Dollars for 5 mins hot water), I was 5th in line for one shower! An hour later, I was finally in showering, racing to beat the clock! Thankfully, I just about managed to get all the soap and conditioner out of my hair before the freezing cold water b...
