When we arrived in Auckland yesterday we were met by Kelvin (a distant relative of mine) who we
have never met but have been in contact over the last few months while planning
our NZ trip.
Kelvin and his wife Pauline
have given us an amazing Kiwi welcome in Auckland and have been looking after
us over the last couple of days, including giving us our first home cooked
meal for weeks, a tour of Auckland
View over Auckland from one of the many volcanoes (Mt Eden). |
and
helped to pick up our campervan.
Kelvin
and Pauline have their own campervan and have helped us put together an
itinerary from some of their own NZ campervan trips. A brief idea of our plan can be found here or on the NZ Map
Page but it basically 3 weeks in the North Island and 5 weeks in the South
Island.
After one more family get together where we met Rebecca (Kelvin and Pauline's daughter) it is time for us to get packed up and get ready for the start of the trip.
Say Cheese ! |
A huge thank you to Kelvin, Pauline and Rebecca for all their help in getting us sorted out over the last few days / weeks / months.
Mr & Mrs M
