NZ Travels: Hanmer Springs Spa day & Drive to Kaikoura
Travelling New Zealand: Duration 3 weeks: December 2008: Day 10 We got up earlyish, I’m sure it’s getting later each day, and did all the things you have to do when you have a campervan i.e. emptying the loo, water and re-filling with clean water – lovely stuff. Then we drove into the centre of [...]
NZ Travels: Franz Joseph and the drive to Hanmer Springs
Travelling New Zealand: Duration 3 weeks: December 2008: Day 9 To say it rained all night is an understatement, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such torrential rain and that’s saying something living in the UK. It rained all night and was still raining in the morning, everywhere was flooding! Consequently our trip was cancelled, [...]
NZ Travels: Lake Wanaka and drive to Franz Joseph
Travelling New Zealand: Duration 3 weeks:December 2008: Day 8 We woke up pretty early and left the campsite, deciding to have breakfast in the town in a café by the lake. It was a bit windy but a beautiful sunny day. Much nicer that the UK weather still! We ate in a little café on [...]
NZ Travels: Queenstown to Wanaka and Lake Wanaka
Travelling New Zealand: Duration 3 weeks:December 2008: Day 7 We drove to Lake Wanaka, which is about an hour and a half’s drive from Queenstown (by this point I would consider this to be ‘nearby’!) and then just spent most of the day there chilling, doing washing, checking emails and so on. The town here is [...]
NZ Travels : Queenstown and Glenorchy
Travelling New Zealand: Duration 3 weeks:December 2008: Day 6 Woke up an hour before the alarm again, so that’s about 6am here. We had planned to go horseriding in Glenorchy today so we were getting up at 7am, to leave by about 8am latest. Hmmm, didn’t quite go to plan as I had emailed the [...]
NZ Travels : Te Anau to Milford Sound, then driving to Queenstown
Travelling New Zealand: Duration 3 weeks:December 2008: Day 5 Woke up feeling much more with it today, think I’ve finally got used to the timescale over here. We woke up early again and started the drive to Milford Sound from Te Anau. This is along one main road only so if you travel here using [...]
NZ Travels : Invercargill to Te Anau, via Riverton & McCrackens Rest
Travelling New Zealand: Duration 3 weeks:December 2008: Day 4 Woke up at 5am today, wind was really lashing down outside and I’m sure I heard some rain. I had read that Invercargill was supposed to be really rainy and windy, although our experience so far had been blue skies and sunshine. Seeing as I was [...]
NZ Travels : Catlins Coast to Invercargill
Travelling New Zealand: Duration 3 weeks:December 2008: Day 3 We got up and had another lovely breakfast this morning, not a full fry up this time, but beans, hash browns and tomatoes for me…..I have to apologise as it seems that food features quite highly in my diary of our trip! The drive was going [...]
NZ Travels : Oameru, Dunedin, Otago Peninsula
Travelling New Zealand: Duration 3 weeks:December 2008: Day 2 We woke up in Oameru, after sleeping off the jet lag, and decided a fry up was the order of the day, so managed to cook a very large breakfast which was lovely. After breakfast we carried on our way towards Dunedin (pronounced duneedin) The drive from [...]
NZ Travels: Flight, Van & Oameru
Travelling New Zealand: Duration 3 weeks:December 2008: Day 1 One of the reasons I had always thought I would never travel to New Zealand (from the UK) before is because of the flight. The thought of being cramped up in an aeroplane with compressed air, no leg room and turbulence (I HATE turbulence) for approx [...]
