Chris & Elaine's Kiwi Camper Caper 2015

Welcome to more of our travels! This will be our most epic trip so far ... leaving on New Year's Eve to go round the world in 101 days! So why call this a Kiwi Camper Caper you ask ... The trip begins with a family visit to Sydney, stopping in Singapore en route, followed by a seven week tour of New Zealand, then a couple of stops on the way home in the Cook Islands and Los Angeles ... so while we are going round the world, New Zealand will be the star of the blog! My daughter Joanna is joining us for the first couple of weeks touring the North Island, then we return her to Auckland to fly home, while we swap to a smaller camper to see a little more of the North Island, before travelling south. It is around 2000km to drive from Cape Reinga in the north to The Bluff in the south, but we reckon we will cover around 6000km to see everything in between ... - Coastline with beaches, bays and blowholes - Exotic fish, dolphins, whales and seals - Albatrosses, gannets and penguins, kiwi and kea - Mountains and volcanos, glaciers, icebergs and fjords - Limestone caves with glowworms - Geysers, mud pools and hot springs - Gorges, waterfalls and lakes - Maori history and culture - Art Deco buildings, historic houses, goldmines and railways - Vineyards and wineries - A World Cup Cricket match .... England - howzat! and maybe a Hobbit!
