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.......

Post from the wide blue yonder

So here I am, on the plane, somewhere over Europe - probably Bulgaria. We still have some distance to travel before we can crawl into our bed in Cornwall but the Great New Zealand Adventure is over.

Although I've managed to do lots of posting while moving from airport to airport, and while in the air, the Wi-Fi on the plane is not good enough to cope with uploading photos so I'll have to go back to my posts and do that later.

And I'm not even going to attempt to collect my final thoughts until I've had a good night's sleep!

It's been 29 hours so far since we left the hotel in Auckland bound for the airport. Crossing time zones as we go, we've had 2 dinners, supper, 2 breakfasts and a mid morning snack in the air so far. It looks as if we're about to have lunch soon.

It's 10 pm NZ time, 9am British time and  11.30 am local time.

It takes stamina, this time travelling.
