Ok so today was a good day but it started out a little shady… We got up early and headed to the I-site to get some info on accommodation (the woman was thoroughly unhelpful) and after ringing around a couple of places jumped in the van to go and have a look at one, that by the brochure, looked ok! Well, the brochure is outdated. That's all I can say. We turned up and immediately I was thinking 'Hmm, okay….give it a chance' getting out of the van it was d...

Well it has been two days since Michelle and Darren went home and I can safely say that I have done, not a lot! Chris and I have been into Birkenhead a couple of times but other than that it has all been about, getting clothes washed and things sorted for our trip this week. We are off in the Camper Van to Taupo for a few days stopping off at a few different places along the way. First up on the list is Waitomo and the Waitomo Caves, to see the Glow worms! By...

Now, they had primarily gone out for English stuff so didn't want to get me exactly the sa...

So tonight is the SA v Samoa game which we all have tickets too but this time in two groups of 3 which will be nice for me! J Before that though we have a boat trip organised with Campbell from the Coastguard who very nicely told Dale he would take us all out on his private boat, after we had gone out with him on the Coastguard boat a few weeks ago. We weren't meant to meet Campbell at the pier until 12pm so we went into Auckland for a bit first as Darren had ...
