Hi everyone, I thought it was about time I wrote a journal entry rather than leaving it to Liz all the time. Well what can I say New Zealand is incredible, absolutely beautiful. We've hired a car with a roof box that converts into a sleeping compartment. Having the freedom to travel around and stop where you like is a bit of a revelation.
