Campervan Roadtrip
Well we managed to find a campervan which Lea has christened as Maisie (don’t ask me why). She’s 16 years old but so are most of the campers round here being converted builders vans but apart from one small technical problem she’s been runing really well and fingers crossed will see us through the trip.
Since the last post we’ve headed north from Auckland and explored the Northland area including a couple of days in Russell in the Bay of Islands, followed by a couple of days camping practically on the beach at the most northern tip of New Zealand called Cape Reinga. This has been the highlight of the trip so far and we extended our stay here from one night to two and enjoyed a very hot walk along the coast to the Cape where you could watch the Pacfic Ocean and Tasman Sea meet with quite a force.
Yesterday we headed south through the Kauri Coast seeing the massive Kauri Trees on route. Today we have arrived in Rotorua and will spend a couple of days here exploring the thermal sites. I’m hoping to do some whitewater rafting but Lea might take some convincing. I may have to offer to throw in a Spa treatment, we’ll have to see
Anyway thats a brief update, more as it happens and we’ll try to get some pictures of both Maisie and the Cape uploaded soon
Got something to add?
Why not join the discussion and have your say?
