Far from the madding crowd
NZ has over 35 National Parks on the two islands, it's like a country full of the Lake District. We're only going to glimpse a wee bit of it, a month here is only a taster to whet the appetite. We've already had some tough choices and had to skip 'must see' areas in order to get to other 'must see's'. There's just too much - what a complaint to have! The pace here is relaxed, the spaces open, and even the cities seem compact and easy. The weather is not dissimilar to a good British summer - lovely warm sunny days with occasional cooling breezes, mixed with the odd overcast or rainy day, then back to sunshine again. Our campervan envy has subsided and we've discovered a chain of campsites that offer cheap cabins if it gets too cold/wet. Our only problem could be that from Christmas on it'll be peak season so sites might get booked out quickly.
