Waikaia
13 февраля 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Day two of my trip was good. I decided to buy a Fitbit before I left and even though it is not set up correctly I still want to do some exercise each day. This morning I got my bike off the back ofЧитать далее
Waikaia to Dunedin
14 февраля 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Left Waikaia just after 10. Stopped in Gore for three things. Got one. Filled up at Clinton with my new McKeown card. The camper was on "E" but no light on. Another step under the belt. Stopped atЧитать далее
Dentist
15 февраля 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
All pretty good with the sleeping last night. In the morning did the normal and headed away around 10-15 to my appointment. For those that don't know I was referred to a specialist dentist in DunedinЧитать далее
Friday
16 февраля 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Domestic day today. Just continued to find homes for things. I think some are on to there third home. It is getting easier. This park is full of motorhomes and caravans. I think there are 26 spots. SoЧитать далее
Walk in the bush
17 февраля 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
A bit of a set back mouth wise today. The bed needed re-made and as you may image it is not like a 'normal' bed. It was quite strenuous and I think I popped a blood vessel by my eye. Immediately putЧитать далее
Still in Dunedin
18 февраля 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
This morning I was in the camper most of the morning. I know there are loads of places I could go but my confidence level in parking is minimal. It will improve I am sure. I have seen the sign to theЧитать далее
One more day in Dunedin
19 февраля 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ 🌬 18 °C
Again a few domestic chores today. Swept the floor with a small half brush and shovel. Seems to work ok. Not sure if I will get a real broom or not. The place seems cleaner.
I had arranged to seeЧитать далее
Moving from Dunedin to Hampden
20 февраля 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ 🌬 13 °C
Last night when I returned from my walk I got chatting with another 'camper' and his theory is the less water you have on board makes travelling easier. He also helped me with POP's. Pops are parkЧитать далее
Not sure what day this is
21 февраля 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
Some will know that my parents, after Dad retired went on a retirement holiday and as I recall they talked about it for the rest of their lives. Softball was their interest and it was said peopleЧитать далее
Night two at Hampden
21 февраля 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Quiet night here in Hampden to spite the train track being very close. It didn't wake me when they went through.
After my posting on Facebook I was very surprised at the number of people that wereЧитать далее
Hampden to Waimate
22 февраля 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
When I am on the road (like a 10 whole days) I pretty much don't need to worry about the time I get up and go to bed, eat etc. The motorhome home parks are unlike other establishments don't have aЧитать далее
Waimate and history
23 февраля 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Great weather here in Waimate. Normal kind of start to my camper life morning. It was time to do some washing. I had sussed out the place yesterday when I walked into town. Finding the "bra bag" was aЧитать далее
Another day in Waimate
24 февраля 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
It only costs $5 per night to stay in the NZMCA parks for members. Most are couples from what I have seen and most have bikes. It is nice to see them biking away together after probably 40-50 or moreЧитать далее
Timaru
25 февраля 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
This morning it was time to move on from Waimate. Some don't travel with full water tanks but I put more water in my tanks. The gauges in the van are not totally accurate, so I thought it was worthЧитать далее
Second Night Timaru

Two weeks today since I left home. Seems much longer.
Didn't wake till 8 and when I pulled back the shades put up the blinds looked like no one else was up so it was off to the shower. Lovely showerЧитать далее

My apologies for last night. There seemed be a few glitches and the bit I posted about my parents is something I started and never posted and I thought I had deleted it. The internet was almost notЧитать далее

Another lovely $2 shower for me this morning and I am so use to having quick showers these days didn't even use up all my time.
Took some photos of the fruit growing at Sea down before I left.
Then IЧитать далее
Short and Sweet
29 февраля 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
So far I haven't had a problem with finding something to write about each day. As I was driving up from Timaru to Christchurch I thought today's blog would be short and sweet.
Bit cool this morningЧитать далее

4 марта 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ 🌬 22 °C
Not much to report today. Been "home" all day. Got the camper booked in for the small repair tomorrow afternoon so I was able to makes some plans. Their communication is terrible. They said they wouldЧитать далее
No Camper

After I posted the blog last night I went for a walk. My brother and sister-in-law live on a lifestyle block near Christchurch. The houses I saw were very very nice when I was out walking. They are onЧитать далее
Camper Back

I did manage to sleep well last night in a house bed. Not many other options.
This morning I txt the camper place so they had my number and didn't have to hunt for it. They have been poor atЧитать далее
