  • Canvastown

    Jan 29–Feb 1, 2024 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Heading for Nelson to do some petsitting but dont really want to try and find FC's in the city so we stopped at canvastown to wait out the time before we go. Its only 40mins to Nelson from here.
    Parked at the back of the Pelorus Tavern, a freedom camp at Canvastown. There was a woman who in the old days went down to do her washing in the river beside us and noticed a HUGE gold nugget she told someone and it caused a major gold rush in the area Hence the name Canvastown as there were tents everywhere. It was the biggest nugget found in this area.

    Drove from Kaikoura to Renwick. Stopping the night at the Renwick Dog Park. Great for Sofia as she can run in the off leash area and there's even a paddling pool for the little dogs. Of course Sofia got in. We reckon its around 36°. 🔥Read more

  • Marking time in Tinwald

    January 19, 2024 in New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    Were marking time before leaving on our next leg. The weathets been so hot all weve been doing is blobbing out. We got so hot yesterday we ran the hose and got cooled down under it. We even put Sofia under it as she was soo hot. She loved it and ran in and out of the spray. It was very cute. The cat were looking after here (Freddy)is very cute and cuddly but hates Sofia. The two of them take wide berths of each other. Its quite amusing to watch.Read more

  • Backing Camera not working

    January 11, 2024 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Had to make a stop in at Newlands Auto electrical to get our "reasonably" new bluetooth camera looked at. I say reasonably because it was new when we started out a couple if years ago 🤣. It just doesnt feel that long ago. One of the things I'm loving about the Sth Island is it always seems to be easy to book in work and theres always spaces for us 'big' rigs to park ❤️Read more
