Fiji - via Nadi, Waya Lailai, Coral View, and Oarsman's Bay 7th May - 13th May After a 3 hour plane journey we arrived in Fiji and out the window there was nothing but green, the tropical haven that Fiji boasts was clear from that very first moment. On landing the first beam of sun glared through the small port hole window filling us with excitement. As we disembarked we were greeted by the locals all sporting the latest worldwide fashion accessory… a face mas...

Christchurch to Auckland via Lyttelton - 2nd May to 7th May They started with us starting to pull bits together to get ready for disembarking the campervan.

Mt Cook as stunning as it is on a clear day is most certainly a no go area when bad weather comes in. We laid awake the entire n...

Gore to Mt Cook via (Dunedin, Oamaru and Lake Aviemore) 22nd April to 25th April After an early morning shower we got on the road to Dunedin, the sky was clear and the air again crisp. The drive took a little under 2 hours over hilly terrain a numerous fields of sheep and cattle. As we arrived in to Dunedin we found the town to be more like a city with plenty going on. After we parked up we headed in to the city where we finally booked our Bula Combo pass to Fij...
