Well, a lovely camp site looking right over the Pacific from an elevation of about 30m. The swim last night was lovely and refreshing. Jen thought it was cold but once under, it was warm. It’s a dry dusty site but with a view to die for. The only problem…
It’s getting much warmer now as we track south. Our campsite was nicely tucked in amongst some pretty amazing rocks. It was an early start at 9.30am. Not sure how we managed that but it was nice to get going again. For the remainder of the morning we were motoring in…
A lovely night. Cool but not freezing. The sun was up before us and doing it’s work charging the auxiliary battery via the solar panel on the roof. We have been having a little problem with the fridge cutting out, so decided to rectify it and do some other remedial…
We were expecting rain yesterday, but it didn’t happen. Snow was forecast for today and we got it during the night. I had to get up to answer the call at 4am and was greeted with a white-out. Here I am standing there with only the wrapping I arrived in,…
As yesterday was Jen’s day to write the blog, she wouldn’t let me put these pics in her story. No taste that girl. Anyway, here are some pics of a junk yard we passed and here is some of the treasure waiting to be restored. This morning has dawned rather…

It’s right on 4pm and we have our camp established in the Beverly Beach State Park Campsite. The day has been mostly overcast and cool though there have been some sunny spells. Being in the Landy and on the road again is marvellous. The scenery after leaving Scott and Marsha’s…
What a great day, and night last night. Jen’s 70th birthday celebration meal with Logan & Jamie and news during it, of a successful bid for their first house. It was a warm, pleasant evening. I should mention that flowers for Jen I ordered online yesterday, never arrived and still…
What a glorious camp site we have tonight. No other campers except the Camp Host and his wife who are in their large RV (Recreational Vehicle). They have been living in it for the past 14years. It has an 8L V8 Chev petrol engine that does 7mpg!!!! Leaving the camp…
Trying to get away from the camp site this morning was a challenge. So many people to chat to, about all sorts of things. Our last discussion could have gone on all day. It was with a Rail Engineer or Train Driver, in NZ. He was a real nice guy.…
