... the night. I think we are on NZ time now.

Thursday was just a quiet day at home, and Friday we visited the local thrift shops in the morning.

A nice fella, we chatted a bit and he dropped us off at the City Oaks Serviced Apartments.

The apartments cost us $120 a night (60 GBP) and were bought as a bit of a chill before we hit the road in the campervan. In reality the ...

Bob gave it a "oh what the hell" as he put the car back in gear and started up the gravel road. It was a rough drive, but the scenery was well worth it (especially for me, since all I had to do was sit there, but Bob also enjoyed it).
