Our five week trip to New Zealand went quickly, saw a lot of the country side this time around.
We would like to thank our hosts, Brandt & Lorraine (Mr & Mrs Kiwi-as) for their hospitality & kindness in showing us much of their country & where they used to farm etc, also meet many of their friends & family.
Thanks also to Leonie's brother for the same hospitality & taking a week's holiday to show us around his area of Taranaki & a trip down to Wellington .
That was a bloody good 5 weeks J+ L, Lets face it ?? you could spend 5 months there, a you would still be just scraping the surface. I also look forward to making another trip soon ..

We also did a 5 week trip in NZ in January/February - peak time unfortunately but that's when my sister decided to get married.
We did 5,932 klms around North & South islands in a rented motorhome and would love to go back for a lot longer. It is a magnificent country.

It was all our pleasure, Jim and Leonie. Just a pity I was laid up with my leg and we couldn't get out after those big snapper and king fish. Never mind got to leave something for next time.
