We had some great adventures in our camper van, which we named Tiki. We loved the freedom that it gave us and the "off the beaten track" spots that we could visit on our own four wheels.
We camped in some great places with Tiki...
Sunny mornings and mountain views in Wanaka
and right on the beach in sleepy Gore Bay. The only problem was, at first, we found it almost impossible to do any "freedom camping", so were having to go to proper camp sites every night. Here's Rob with one of the dreaded "No Camping" signs that were so common around Marlborough and Nelson.
Fortunately, as we moved on, we found more and more beautiful spots to stop at the side of the road, like this one over-looking Arrowtown and Queenstown,
Heavy rain meant that this camping spot near Blenheim was dangerously close to the river and we had to make a dash for higher ground in the middle of the night!
This was a great spot in stunning Fiordland where, the following day, we woke to snow on the roof.
After exploring the South Island together for over a month, we were sad to say goodbye to Tiki and take her back to Christchurch. We took one final photo of the three of us.
