Travelling in New Zealand, in a VAN!

So I've decided on a change of format for the blog, we're going to keep it more up to date by posting what we are currently doing or have done in the last couple of days.

So here goes. we're in New Zealand now, and have bought a van, with a bed in the back. Its not quite on the same scale as the RV but it does the job. So far we've travelled over 1000km and slept in it mostly wherever you DON'T have to pay! Unfortunately this means that we sometimes have to put up with the sound of waves waking us in the morning, or pesky views keeping us up at night. Life is hard for sure.

New Zealand is just beautiful so far, its so lush and green and the people seem very friendly. Believe it or not we have seen more cows than sheep, which came as a surprise! Driving seems like the way to go here, navigating your way from beach to forest via winding roads that take in coastlines or steep hills.

I dyed Fran's hair a couple of days ago while staying on a campsite (we REALLY needed a shower!) its now bright RED and looks awesome! So other than that news we're waiting for the weather to improve, yesterday it started raining and to be honest its quite cold here, but we're having fun so it doesn't matter.

Anyway, we're off to go and do a skydive in an hour, so we better get going... hehehe
