ABOUT US



ABOUT US
We are from Cornwall, England.
We love to travel and to explore places in a campervan. We find wide open spaces exhilarating
and do lots of walking. Show us an accessible hill or mountain and we want to go up it.
We like watching birds but are not twitchers. To be honest Lawson is more into bird spotting than me but what I find amazing
is the diversity of birdlife, and the fact birds of all sizes continue to live side by side with us humans. So, in the course of our explorations
we may make a detour to the local dump because more often than not it will be one of the best places to see birds.
We are sure New Zealand will not disappoint us when it comes to birds but what about other wildlife and natural wonders?
Will we encounter anything to beat the sight of polar bears on sea ice at the North Pole?
And what will we think of the house at Paraparaumu that Ron and Vivien have built? All will be revealed.......

Bangkok

We're in Bangkok. We've crossed a few time zones but I think it's Thursday morning here!
After a duty free breakfast in Dubai airport ( Weds. 2am UK time 8am there) we got back on the plane for another 6 hours. I watched Hitchcock's Vertigo on this leg (James Stewart and Kim Novak); they don't make them like that anymore.
How does the Airbus 280 plane get off the ground? At least 600 passengers, 13 nationalities amongst the crew, and they spoke 16 languages between them. If you are amongst the last to be served with your meal the aroma of hot food being enjoyed by the first 599 travellers has your tummy rumbling long before your helping arrives.
The hotel is fine but unremarkable. My shower after all those hours travelling was a real treat however; yes, even better than a shower at Carn Brea leisure centre after my early Sunday morning swim.
