A Kiwi and a Pom

Day 17. Thursday 16th May. Rogers Pass to Calgary.

It rained during the night and sadly our efforts to waterproof the Caranex have proved in vain. The ponding on the roof is not so bad, but there must to be holes where the water is getting in. We suspect where we have sown the strengthening webbing to the tent.…

Hedley to Rogers Pass. BC

Wed 15th May. Day 16 WOW!! What a sleep. Nine hours straight. As Jen mentioned we found a Provincial Park Camping place last night that was almost deserted. Brilliant. On the road by 9.30am. Pretty good for us. We are now parked close to the entrance of an avalanche shelter…

2nd November – Back in New Zealand

This morning saw us arriving into Auckland Airport at the ungodly hour of 04.45. This meant a wait of over 3 and a half hours before our connecting flight to Rotorua. A glorious sunny day awaited us here and it was wonderful to be met by and catch up with…

Communications from the South of France

I am sure we mentioned that we were heading for the sun and sea for a few days. Nowhere was more appealing than somewhere in France. I guess you could say we have developed a bit of an obsession with the country. We flew into Nice a couple of days…
