So here we are in New Zealand.......... First on the list a campervan.......
We started our search positive and ambitious....... then we met some car salesmen and then we met some dodgy dealers, and then we saw some of the heaps they were passing as campervans........we were a little dispirited!
We went back to the cosy hostel and consoled ourselves with an amazing hot chocolate and made a plan of attack for the coming weekend car markets. The car market had a few backpackers and then the same group of dodgy dealers we had already met, oh and we forgot to take along any money!
In between van hunting we did manage some sightseeing, following which I would say Auckland is a beautiful place with a dissappointing centre.
Then came some hope from a car we found on the internet, but our first viewing was in the dark so Charlie (more positive than me!) convinced me not to worry about the smell of fresh paint and look at it again in the day........... We had found the one at last, yay we were so pleased. We took it for a mechanical check before trusting our own limited knowledge and shook on it..... let the travels begin!!!
