Some days I just forget where I am and have to recount or look at a map for where I have been!! So I am in a campsite in my little camper ( loaned to me by Dave's friend Ian - thanks Ian) and I have driven up the East coast from Christchurch in horrible weather- grey clouds turning to windy and lashing down rain... not much stopping there ( its the place where you can go to sight whales- but not t...

Keeping this travel blog enables me to reflect and record my journeys as well as communicate with my family and friends. I shouldn't be amazed me that complete strangers in this travel community will want to read about what I am up to as they are a great bunch of folk. I have swapped my home and hospitality for many years now and always I have met such wonderful open, generous and friendly people. Travelling alone lots of the time I am never lonely ..there is always the travelblog to keep me company. Planning for future trips and onwards now. Don't let the grass grow under you feet. ... full info

A lifetime's worth of photos
Lynne - the springs look wonderful! We have been to NZ three times but there is obviouly more to see. The next trip for us will probably be back to NZ for a week at the start of next year so it's been great to get some tips rather than referring to a guide book all the to time. I know it sounds ridiculous for us to still be on holidays but talking about our next but you've got to have something to aim for! Photo, photo, photos! They are the bane of my life as we mut have over 10 000 from our holiday and I have had to name every one. Most are Anthony's so he should be naming them but if I left it to him, we would never remember all the place we visited. I'll be doing a big cull hen we get home. I figure a few hundred a day and I will be done by the twelfth of never!

Lynne, astonishing potos. It must have been difficult to keep your hands out of the water. I was thinking the Brits would have thrown coins into it as they seem to do in every bit of water they pass. Fantastic tour Lynne. Much love Janice

Good on ya, Bob
Sorry that you started out in rain, Lynne. It will be good for the next week now. Kaikoura (where the whales are) is usually a great picture where you can have the snow on the mountain tops and the sea all in one photo!Loved Bob's Lookout. You did well there, Bob. Are you here on your bikes somewhere? Not sure about the cannabis in Christchurch, Pauline, but there is plenty where Lynne is now!! She could come across whole plantations of the stuff on some of those walks she is doing!!Hope you can stop a night at Little Kaiteriteri, Lynne. I think you will be getting in your kayak around there somewhere. It will be amazing. Love Jocelyn
