The start...

We've spent the first week in Christchurch at the lovely family Tregurtha. First we just planned to stay for one night but then they invited us to stay longer... A perfect start to our New Zealand adventure :)

It took us a bit longer than expected to get our new "home", a camper van. But in the end we were happy to get the Mitsubishi L300. Hopefully it will get us around the islands safely. Besides that we explored Christchurch a bit and checked what the local supermarkets have to offer. It's a bit more pricey than in Germany, especially for fruits and vegetables, but not as much as expected.

We don't really have a plan yet, just that we'll be heading South first and see what is there to do.Read more
