I'm putting in an entry for Christchurch just because I want to show on the map that this is where we landed. Our flight was 3 hours from Sydney - easy peasy compared to what we're all used to! We were picked up by the place we rented the camper from - Backpacker Campervans (we finally decided the day before to book it). Our camper is a 4 berth ...

Didn't really do much today went to Bridlington beach which is just as bloody cold as the one in England!!!!!!!! George and Jazz have asked us if we wanna stay for christmas and new year so we said why the hell in exchange for Ben laying a new patio for them and me painting some of the house - obviously the bits I can reach!! We chilled out, wat...

Picked up the 'Maui' camper van, oh my god, it didn't look that big in the picture when we booked it!

We flew on from Hong Kong to Christchurch via Singapore; another business class seat, but someone had a baby that screamed all the way so we didn't get any sleep. We spent a few days in Christchurch, just getting the feel of the place. The weather was very much Springtime; clear blue skies but a sharp wind. We explored the shops, cafés and bars ...

Awoke this morning to an absolutely beautiful day. Had a great sleep and am ready to hit the road! went out for breakfast in a cafe in Christchurch this morning which was great and had a bit of a walk around town. The campervan was due to arrive at about 10:00 this morning. At about 9.30 i got a phone call from the Motorhome company advising tha...

29th April 2006 We drove into Christchurch just as the weather took a turn for the worse. By the time we'd arrived at the YHA it was grey, drizzly and thoroughly miserable but I was glad to be in a big city once more. As a city girl at heart the prospect of 3 nights in the big smoke was a comfort and appealing especially after some of the very s...

In the past three days, both me and Juliette have been stressed out about selling our car. Every morning we would check at the reception of our hostel hoping for any messages from potential buyers inquired about our car. The answer always came back the same, "sorry, no messages" In the evening we check it once more, again the same dull, heart br...

Well, the "most English of New Zealand cities" is indeed living up to it's name - it's cold, wet and rainy, and has been pretty much since I got here. Yesterday, I bought a car, so I'm now the proud owner of a red 1983 Toyota Cressida named Stella. It cost me $600 (about 200 quid, I hate that there's no pound sign on foreign keyboards), with a f...
