We made it to New Zealand! New Zealand is having a cool summer but we find the temperature quite nice after the humid heat of Argentina. Colin and I both suffered some jet lag but that was a minor inconvenience compared to remembering which way to look when crossing the street, we both wonder how many tourists get hit by cars in their first few days of visiting a country that drives on the opposite side of the road!? Speaking English has been a funny adjustment as we still say ‘buenos dias’ for hello and ‘gracias’ for thank you.
We have been in Auckland for the past 3 days and have mostly seen the inside of its many shops as we stocked up for a camping adventure! We found a micro camper (station wagon big enough to sleep in) which we will spend the next 6 weeks in touring around both the North and South Island. We have a place to sleep, food to eat and a good road atlas, what more do you need?! We plan to stay in very simple campgrounds and may not have access to internet on a regular basis, so our posts may be a little less frequent (this is mainly a note for our dear mothers...no search party neededJ)
