Shilli-Fully Travels

In spite of Tim’s reservations, we booked a (six berth !) camper van for a week. Heading North from Auckland our first stop was at Pakiri Beach, two miles down an unsealed track, a recommendation from Suzanne. It was an excellent start enabling Tim to relax into the camping way of life. We met some very nice fellow campers, borrowing a corkscrew (we managed to buy one of the few wines in Martinborough with corks) and taking recommendations for our onward journey. We even coped with the “50 cents for four minutes in the shower”.
