Re: First camping holiday in NZ
Everyone should try the camping but to do it Kiwi style you have to take
your TV not portable but plasma
Freezer ( large size)
Fridge Very large
Microwave
Double bed not a foam mattress the proper kind
very large BBQ
Boat.
4x4
very large table
lots of beer
5 kids and grand parents to look after the kids
Alarm Clock ( have to be in bed by 10pm and awake by 6am )
i am sure i must have missed something ?

Re: First camping holiday in NZ
There was an ultra modern attach to your 4wd trailer thing with sides that expanded at our site and it had a flat screen plasma in it!!! Why the hell did they do that??? Surely camping means getting away from it all. We banned our 2 from taking any hand held computer games.Bikes,books and board games only. Not happy at the time but honestly,they did not miss them once.

The boys did some fishing and I went off to see Numptyhead and they joined us for a barbie in the evening. I'm sure she won't mind, photo of us with the boys' catch!
Lovely to meet you all Maria.

Re: First camping holiday in NZ
What a great update Phyl, sounds like you had a great trip despite a dodgy start with the weather.
I grew up camping in Omakau from when I was teeny, tiny until I was a teenager. My sis still goes there every year in her camper. I am hoping to carry on the tradition when we eventually make it home. I absolutely love Central Otago, beautiful scenery and loads to do.
