Life in the campervans is not as easy and comfortable as people may think. There are plenty of up and downsides to having them and they all certainly add alot of character to you. We're in the middle of winter here in NZ so our vans are pretty cold during the nights. Add to that we're avoiding the campervan sites that charge on average $10 a head so we've got no amenities. The result is that we're now accustomed to waking up in a service stations carpark with ici...

The drive to Paihai is incredible... it was if you were driving through the lake district with valleys of lushous green filled hills either side of you. On top of that we were close to the coast on parts which gave us another set of jaw dropping views. You really get to appreciate the scenery when you drive. Our campervans are very cool by the way.

Well our last week in the US of A has certainly been an interesting one and in no way have we let the relaxing thoughts of the Cook Islands stop us from seeing more of this incredible country. After the craziness of Vegas we made our way across to Palm Springs to visit my cousin Alyson and her husband Jeremy who had kindly offered us a place to rest our heads for a couple of days. The house was a fantastic restbite, and although the surrounding area offered so m...
