From Curio Bay to Invercargil
... the road was a camp site, and although it was still raining thought we would try and see if a hut was still available. And so funny that behind this house, in a normal neighborhood of many houses, there be an entire campsite, complete with a main building, two buildings of hotel like rooms and RV parking. So we found a room, settled in with the first tv in our room we have had and then headed out for dinner downtown at Duo to enjoy the local ...
Bluff, Invercargill And The Catlins
... incognito but it turned out it was an English couple I had met the day before on the Doubtful Sound trip. They were most excited in seeing me there so I posed for photos with them, inspected their Britz camper van (doh!) and was on my way.

Der tatsächlich südlichste Punkt des Festlandes befindet sich jedoch nicht an dieser Stelle, sondern einige Kilometer weiter ...
Zuidereiland I: Meren en mooie kustlijnen
... wennen dat we deze hele bus voor ons 2-en hebben en niet met 14 Aziaten hoeven te delen. Wat een luxe en we slapen er ook heerlijk in. Zo’n groot bussie, het links rijden en de bergwegen zijn niet echt mijn ding. Ik probeer het een paar keer, maar ik ben blij dat Deus het links rijden en de bochtige wegen een stuk beter afgaat.
Terug naar de kust
Vandaag rijden we naar Otago Penninsula. We stoppen bij sandfly beach en lopen het prachtige strand op, op ...
