AOTEAROA

Arriving in Christchurch from Fiji was a chilling experience. To make sure only the hardy survive to travel into the country, the domestic terminal in Auckland is a good 10 minute walk in a stiff breeze from the international one. After spending the night in an airport hotel, we picked up Jucy early in the morning. Luckily she's an automatic, since as in Fiji, she's right hand drive.

I'm OK driving on the left as long as I don't have to change gear. That's when I open the window and stall the engine.

Jucy campervan! We had the smaller Jucy for our NZ adventure (even on the left and with all the windy roads we loved our Jucy!) Make sure to check out the art museum in Christchurch (cool brewery nearby called Dux-de-Lux), also the Curators House near the Botanical Gardens for afternoon tea. Akaroa is a great day trip from Christchurch, rent kayaks and try to spot the seals and dolphins! Sweet as! (Have your heard that phrase? New Zealand for Awesome). Have Fun!!! Jenn
