Hey,

I'm so sorry I haven't written in quite some time. Well we got to NZ after the scare of making the plane and hung out in Wellington where we flew into for 3 days. We found out about a car auction there and ended up buying an old 1984 Ford Eurovan and yep she’s a beast but such a good time. We only paid $100 for it at the auction and some backpackers had just dropped it off that morning. It has a double bed in the back a table with a stove and propane tank, all pots, pans, plates and cutlery, pretty much everything we needed for camping. So we hit the road and stocked up on groceries then just camped.

We have literally been out in the forest just finding angler accesses around lakes and rivers and camping just Chris and I with absolutely nobody around and rarely making it to town only to stock up on beer, ice, and cold foods. New Zealand is absolutely unreal, so unbelievably gorgeous (I promise I will send some pics one of these days when I find a place that I can). On the north island, it is hills, valleys, mountains, lakes and rivers and that’s pretty much it. There isn't even really too many large cities, just smaller towns. It is pretty much all nature here. I definitely love it as we are going at our own pace but I am very sick of being dirty. Other than that, I don't really have too much exciting news. Other than that I miss everyone so much back home and will be home around April 10 is the plan.
