The Final Countdown

Hi all, several reasons for todays update. Firstly, we are coming to the end of our Kiwi adventure, also to fill in the gaps (or more importantly, the bits that Polly missed out!) We also feel the need to celebrate that last night was our final sleep in EZY camper! (see below!) Today we are going to stay with Polly's aunt here in the fine city of Auckland and we are looking forward to some proper food, a proper bed and more importantly, some other company. Now that doesn't mean that we have a...

Overall missions

... America and a little less of South America?? Just looking at the pins in map and trying to sort out time.
Spike: All this sounds good.

Dave: 2) Ben recons Botswana is ment to be a goer in terms of African countries to visit, has a massive delta that you can get right up close to nature on. Sounded pretty cool. Not sure if you know any one who has been there though, I can ask my Mums friend who is really ...

... employee's on looks (good thing I have hot friends), this said he only looks and already has a very fine girlfriend.

Ricky, Kiwi, adult (to old to ask), Introvert unless drunk when he morphs into chatty, sexually explicit and friendly guy. Ricky visited London and hated it apart from the clubbing, trance music and drugs, so we didn't find much common ground here. Ricky part owns the company, so he actually pays us, I like Ricky, I don't think he could pick me out in a line up ...

Keep Left

... to drive on the wrong side errr.. left side of the road.. was worth it! So Sunday morning at 10am we went to go pick up our little Nissan Bluebird from Jucy car rentals and began the two hour trek to Whangarei (pronounced "Fahn-ga-ray"). The route was pretty straightforward until we came across a police block on the main highway. We were forced to re-route and follow the cars in front of us through a trecharously, twisty, dirt backroad ...

We are now in New Zealand

... coral was lovely, and we were told all about the history of the islands and when they were discovered by Captain cook. Tomorrow, we are off to Coremundel...farther to the south....incidentally, as I write this I feel like I'm still rocking on a boat on the ocean....I hope this goes away. Anyhow, there we will be staying at a meditation retreat for a couple of days. Hope all is well with you, and I will now try to upload some photos and a video. Take Care, Deanne & Kris

Roadtrip to Matakohe in campervan

... zu kommen um dort ins Kauri Museum zu gehen (Kauri ist ein Baum). So gegen 19.30h mussten wir dann einen Kaffee haben und hielten somit bei einem McCofe. Danach ging die Fahrt auch schon weiter. Wir hatten echt Muehe, einen Platz zu finden, um den Van hinzustellen. So gegen 22h hatten wir jedoch einen Parkplatz mit oeffentlichen Toiletten gefunden. Unsere erste Nach irgendwo auf der Strasse in einem Wohnmobil :-)

Whangarei

Leaving Russell in the late afternoon we made the tortuously windy but beautiful drive back to State Highway 1 to make our way south towards Auckland. We made an overnight stop in Whangarei where we managed to use their Pak 'n' Save supermarket and get a free hardback copy of Alistair Campbell's The Blair Years in the campsite's book exchange! (Kim has been searching for ...

... above is $6 (about four quid) and the dearest $10 - I can't suss out why the minimal difference in price, but the site we found was serviced and just what we needed. The day after we explored the surrounding forest and saw the two biggest, and the seventh biggest, kauri trees in existence. Generally speaking, your average kauri has the girth of a chubby bloke and is dead straight with a lot of height. This made them very popular with Europeans making ship masts ...

Tutukaka sukeldmine, Poor Knights Islands

Järjekordne farmi-hommik väljalennuga 7.00, kuna ees ootas päev merel. Risto ja Anne olid minemas sukelduma, Gerli ja Agur päevatripile kohalikul lahel koos snorgeldamisega. Olime nats ajahädas ja seetõttu kurvilistel mägiteedel sai suisa rallit sõidetud J Jõudsime Tutukakasse 20 min peale kaheksat. Saime oma paberi-protseduurid tehtud ja edasi kalipsot sobitama. Kõik oli väga professionaalne. Kompuutri eripärasid selgitati kõigile personaalselt. Asjad pakiti nimelisse kotti ja toodi ...

Day 79 - Auckland - Whangarei

... side door opens) so we can still cook and sit outside when it is raining. There is also a large 'moon roof' which you can open and stand inside the van with your heads poking out of the top to look at the view. And that is about it - it will be a bit cramped but nowhere near as bad as the tent. Oh, and we get a sheet, duvet with cover and two pillows with pillowcases. We sorted out the paperwork and paid for 42 days (they gave us a free day). We have arranged to drop the ...
