We are coming to the end of our travels. From Cape Reinga through to Dargaville where we visited the Kauri Museum and one of the largest Kauri trees still standing on the Island. It was called Tane Mahuta. then we travelled to Auckland and have been made very welcome by Brian and Ange. Our little niece is beautiful and such a good baby and we have been trying to teach her some bad habits but its not working. We have been to the Sky Tower which is the tallest bulding in the southern hemisphere and also taller than the Eiffle Tower. [View Full Entry]

Hi all we have been busy. On the South Island we travelled to Kaikoura to visit the seal colony it was amazing, one came very close so i have posted a video. He said Hi to you all. We travelled to Picton which is a beautiful little harbour where we boarded the ferry to Wellington. Here we had rain and I now know why it is called Wellington because you need your wellies. LOL Then we arrived in Lake Taupo and stayed three nights in a brill holiday park. The outdoor pool is thermally heated to 40" so in the evening [View Full Entry]

Hi All, Have visited loads of places and having a great time. A motor home is the way to see all. DAY 1 Antarctic Centre, then to Geraldine and stayed at Grumpy's Caravan Park. DAY 2 Lake Tekapo and Cook Mountain and Twizel Day 3 Cromwell and on to Queenstown The snow covered mountains are beautiful and the lakes bright blue. Our photos look like picture postcards. I never knew you could wear the same clothes so many times you only wash when they start to smell. Camping facilities are geared for motorhomes if you dont mind walking across a pitch [View Full Entry]
