Welly to Picton

All the waste dumping a no shopping done, the van started no problem. Despite the wind weather the previous day the sea was calm for our crossing. Its was a little strange driving on and off the ferry, we are usually go to, or heading home from the continent, this time it was neither, just going to another part of the same country.

Preparation

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.

First Campsite

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.
