How dedicated are we? Our flight leaves in 45 minutes but we are updating the blog...so, on we go to Melbourne. Top tip: check your flight details regularly. Our stay in Melbourne appears to be a day shorter than we thought. Ooops.
We've just had a great few days with Tony and Alison, visiting the Banks Peninsula, Art Galleries, bars (let you decide who went where...), beaches and high hills. All very very good. We've also been easing ourselves back into hostel life, while eating at lovely restaurants and stopping regularly at cafes...Kit and Nicky - we hope you will treat us this well when you visit!!
So, round up of New Zealand:
- if you want to see Kiwi, go to a wildlife centre. We saw 3 of them this morning at one.
- it's a bit like England if you take away all of England's people, cities, farms, motorways....
- great scenery. Only come here for walking and outdoors stuff. If you're idea of heaven is an afternoon shopping followed by cocktails, stay in Europe. NZ has it but on a smaller scale.
- our next visit here will be in Winter (next - many years, when we have money again...)
- we loved camper vanning. We drove 7038 km in total
- we loved Fiordland, Stewart Island, Otago, Northland and the Coromandel... and the rest was pretty awesone too.
We've bid farewell to Martin's parents (who also scored highly on parental generosity and kindness) after raiding their hotel room for coffee sachets one last time, and are on our way to Australia...the parents will be missed... especially when we start eating super noodles again...
