Isn't it great? Well worth all the blood sweat and tears. We did it in winter in the snow so it was terrifying! Enjoy Roturua! I chickened out of the white water rafting as it was so so cold but you will love it I am sure. Are you going to the hangaii (or however you spell it!) x

Wow
Hey you two, looks like you are having an amazing time. Not sure about all this walking, lol! Anyway, I thought I would drop you a line to say hello and see how things are going. New Zealand looks amazing. You're like me, I always manage to befriend a cat on my travels. How is the camper van going now? take care, Lucy, x
