Ok here I go, this blog is going to be long. We spent 18 days in NZ, driving around in a Toyota Hiace Campervan. We´d like to say we have seen alot of NZ. We did see alot but we didnt spend much time in each place because in reality 18 Days in this beautiful country is just not enough.We started off by flying from Melbourne International airport to Wellington Airport. This was a bit of a mistake because Wellington is right in the middle of NZ and ideally we want...

What made it an even more pleasurable moment was when we realised that we would be staying with Rob and Sally, in a real house with real food!

We arrived at Byron Bay following another 2 hour coach trip and much to ourr surprise the rain had once again followed us down from the previous place! It piddled it down for the first day and much of the second day. Byron Bay is a small beach side town which has a lot of hippies and strange shops. Despite this the place was really relaxed and once the rain had decided to clear up we spent a couple of days at the beach. The waves at the beach were pretty big and ...
