Day 1

15th December 2006






















Although we have only been traveling in our campervan for one day we are already feeling quite a connection with other Winnebago drivers. We consider these people to be “fellow travelers”. This started by checking out their vans and comparing them to ours. It has now progressed to waving at them enthusiastically when we go past (not overtaking them obviously … we are too slow to even aspire to that).




A few moments ago Jono discovered that a “punter” is not a “pimp” … unfortunately he did not realise this earlier today when we went punting along the River Avon in Christchurch. The whole time he tried to make bad jokes about “punters” taking his money. Tania thought this was a little strange …

We spent the afternoon in Akaroa, a beautiful town that was settled by the French. The town is beautiful, although the photo does not do it justice. We have a feeling we might be saying that a fair bit this trip!
