Got the Van

Got the van. Nobody told us it was a public holiday! Fortunately, the traffic was good. We did manage to get an automatic (thank goodness) which we need to swap in Christchurch but that's okay. Still be auto. I have enough think about with being on the left and roundabouts! The thing is much bigger than we imagined. 24' long. But it is nice at night and we are fully contained. Nice NZ couple beside us last night - also just retired. Rented out their house for a year and are now nomads. Beautiful Lake Taupo (largest fresh water lake in the southern hemisphere) and lots of lovely stars last night. Of course, I couldn't identify a singe constellation!

Oh, somebody pinched my camera while we were getting the van. Nice. Bought a new one in Hamilton on our journey.
