A New Zealand Road Trip

December 05, 2010 | | Comments 0

In Thailand, Thai tourists flock to the northern mountains to experience “freezing weather” during the cold season.  Of course it seldom, if ever, actually reaches freezing and it does not snow.

My Partner, Thim, therefore has never experienced snow, and most Thai’s (crazy people) would love to see it.  This, in 2007, along with the fact that Thim’s older sister lives in Auckland, New Zealand, prompted a road trip.

We found that life in the camper wasn’t that bad.  We had water, heat, shower and a comfy bed. What more could one want. It was especially fun for someone who hadn’t experienced anything like this before.

We could see our destination in the distance. We would spend the night at a campground about 34 kilometers from the ski slopes and SNOW!
