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.......

'Heated discussions'

So, having taken possession of Tim, the campervan, and finally (leg declared fit to travel) having been able to set off southwards, I can report that the following issues have been hotly debated so far:-

1. Whether the kettle should be boiled for a cup of tea in the van (using our own gas) or in the campsite kitchen (when the water would have gone off the boil by the time it got to the cups).
2. Whether when I said 'into Riccarton' I meant left into Riccarton Road or right towards the suburb of that name.
3. Whether it is reasonable for the navigator to expect the driver to use commonsense/be telepathic.
