Good day to you all from New Zealand! We have been here for 3 days now and its nice to be in a more temperate climate after the first part of the trip, Im even wearing a jumper! 1st day spent in Auckland - fantastic city! But we rented our camper van on the 2nd day (as you will see in the photos) so we are currently moving South slowly. We have been driving along the coast, the scenery is so beautiful we have to stop all the time just to check it out its by far the nicest country I have ever seen! Sleeping in the camper van is actually not too bad. Its big inside and theres lots of storage and a little kitchen and table etc so we can basically just go where ever we want and choose our view! its going to be much cheaper as well as we dont have to pay 10 quid a night for hostels! Its so good to see Ginge and James I think its gonna be a good 20 days, the only conflict being mine and ginges taste in hard rock music against James's drum and bass.. but we're pretty used to it and if his ipod does happen to fly out of the window due to a heavy gust of wind we would like to say in advance that we had absolutely no part in it. The plan is to get down to the South island pretty quick as there is apparently alot more stunning scenery and sky diving etc there so watch this space.
