Christchurch to Sydney

Final thoughts on the land of the silver fern

We both enjoyed New Zealand immensely. Despite being told that our camper was built for 20 year old Germans, we spent all but 2 nights in the camper and survived! Some nights it was a bit cold, but a heater was provided and the bedding was warm.

Although we never used the toilet or shower,

we did use the stove and refrigerator. It was nice to be able to stop along the way and cook bacon and eggs and brew fresh coffee while enjoying some of the most breathtaking scenery imaginable. Each night we stopped in a Holiday Park. Most of the time one of the “Top Ten” chain. These were unfailingly clean and well equipped with showers, kitchen, laundry and TV rooms.

The New Zealanders we met were super friendly and very helpful. They made the country very easy to feel at home in.

So now, it's off to see the Wizard ...........
