Another leg completed. Arrived Auckland yesterday and already linked up with Nigel (John's brother)...several hours in an Irish pub later!! Sitting with a load of New Zealanders watching them beat South Africa at the rugby was quite an experience. Bumped into a group of Kiwis who play for Auckland Welsh team!! - new friends made already. We have picked up our campervan today which looks a lot of fun for a month. Apparantly there is snow on the South Island and we have snow tracks just incase!! We are on Davenport island today and plan to commence our road trip tomorrow afternoon. Nigel is well and enjoyed the Kilkenny as you would expect. Kilkenny is an Irish beer by the way! Weather here is cool but sunny and clear. People again very friendly and touring the islands should be immense fun. More photos to be updated soon once we find a suitable place to facilitate. Hope everyone is ok and enjoying the pictures! Thank you for all messages, it's lovely to hear from everyone - oh and wasn't that new Haka ace!?!?!?!?!
