Preparation

February 03, 2024

Less than a week to go, flights have been booked since August and campervan booked on arival at Auckland. We have packed everything we need (hopefully) in 2 backpacks. If we have missed anything we will just buy it there. We head to Carlisle on the train from Braystones on Monday, overnight in the County Hotel Carlisle and catch the 6.47am train to Euston on Tuesday 6th Feb. If all goes well we fly out of Heathrow to Frankfurt then to Singapore and finally to Auckland where we pick up our campervan from Barefoot Campers.

Dress rehearsal.

First Campsite

February 09, 2024

We needed to get the van sorted how we like it and to overcome the jetlag, so we booked this site for 3 nights. Right next to a black sand beach, great for surfing, but not swimming, I little too rough. The site has a camp kitchen with about 6 electric hobs a few fridges and boiling water on tap and the all important Dump Point. For all types of waste water. Good site and friendly fellow campers.
