Since my last post its been an eventful few days.
Decided we needed a good walk so booked us a bus to get us to the Tongariro crossing, a 16km alpine mountain walk with a peak sitting at 6000ft, much to to delight of carlajane.
Up at 5.30 am for our 6am pickup. It was really cold when we set out which was nice as the first few hours are steep uphills, carla didnt moan once bless her, although she has now nicknamed me Harvey from ITV fit club as I keep making her get off her bum and do stuff !!
The walk was amazing, best mountain walk i have ever done, was hard going when the sun was up but the views were out of this world. Bless Carlajane she only started getting moody on the last half hour down, which if im honest was tough on the knees.
A few beers that night and a relaxing next day, with a five hour drive to catch the ferry from wellington to Picton (south island). all was well with the shared driving untill the port, Carlajane decided she wanted to reverse the van into the side of the check in office, crunch, shout, bang and the van now sports a nice dent ! see pics ! The camper now has the nickname Ricky (hatton) as he took his bashing well !
Today were spending time in Picton a nice little harbour town, and just booked ourselves a day appart tomorrow, im off on a power boat for a drop off and then a hill walk back and carla is off getting lashed on a full day wine tasting tour. ( funny I couldnt convince her to go walking again ! )
I'll update you all again soon, chow for now !
