Well, after 3,700km, 14 days, and 3 changes of clothes later*, we've managed to survive our camper van tour of New Zealand's South Island. We kept a brief journal for each day, along with some of our favorite photos. Since it would be an heap of memories and photos to drop all in one post, we'll let you live it day by day over the next couple of weeks. So keep checking back.

Day 1 (28 March)
Drove Gisborne to Wellington today. Took the Interislander ferry from Wellington to Picton. The ferry was a good experience. The boys were entertained by the play area and Disney Junior. I would loved to have sat on the deck with a bottle of wine and the full moon, but the crew probably wouldn’t have been keen to supervise our children. We stayed in AA Marlin Motel. It was straight out of the 60s; the carpet and drapes were probably original. Long day, but boys were great in the car and excited to finally be on the South Island!
