A quieter week this week here in Pukekohe; we are staying until we do our COF early August, then the current plan is to head towards Lake Karapiro but this could potentially change as we are coddiwompling, so meandering our way towards a vague destination. All is well; Mac and […]
Miranda Hot Springs in the dog park for a couple of days was quite the experience. Mac and Rose enjoyed the larger pen and having water and power made the stay all the better. The first night we wandered off to the hot pools at 7:30 pm and really felt […]
Surprise, surprise still here but our departure is imminent, well in the next day or so anyway. Our lovely RV friends Steve and Janine returned to blustery weather here on the Coromandel so they arrived to special coffees just to warm them up. We are enjoying the benefits of charging […]

What a difference a week makes to lives. We had hoped for a little window of opportunity to run away before the big lockdown at level 4. There were several obstacles in our path; waiting for our new specs to arrive, Rod having his post-cancer go-pro and I was due […]
The list of work to complete prior to getting back on the road is slowly but surely being whittled down. We have set a tentative date of the 6th of April to depart and begin our journey. That is as long as Tinker Bell alias “Cindy” does not put the […]
