We made it!

We are finally at our campsite for the night, we have been awake now for 20 hours and feeling very disheveled.

Our flight went smoothly, baby Hudson didn’t even make a peep. Emirates was a grand experience, we didn’t get to make the most of the services in the short 3 hour flight, but enjoyable none the less. We were in suspense as we waited for our bags, feeding our hungry tummies and making sure we were rugged up enough to take on the NZ weather. However, we walked out to a beautiful sunny day which felt warmer than Cooranbong. NZ pulled out the beautiful weather to greet us, much colder now.

The Wilderness shuttle picked us up and took us to our van hire place, where we were only stuck for 3 hours before we finally drove away with our two giant mobile homes ready to see the sites. Asher and James braved the enormous homes on wheels and did a great job...no incidents yet, although we have zero excess, so what’s a few scratches here and there. Care free 😁

First stop...Woolies, or what they call ‘Countdown’ with the Woolies branding. After we stocked our vans with goodies it was off to visit Luke and Nay. It was wonderful to hear their voices, give them big hugs and see where their new home was. We walked down to a local dinner spot which was delicious! Thanks so much guys for looking after us and feeding us. Perhaps the highlight was James’ ‘vegan’ meal, chicken parmigiana. 😂
Little Hudson met Luke and Nay for the first time, and I think they were a little clucky.

After an hours drive we have arrived at our first camping spot, all unpacked and eager to see what greets us in the daylight tomorrow.
