This week was a sad and a happy week. Happy because we had the first people join our convoy, my Mum and Dad. It was also sad because now that they have joined us it means that we have lost half of our blog readers. We also had our first guest stay in the campervan Antony, who was also our resident guide. We were also lucky enough to have a surprise visit in Arrowtown from the CEO of Little Brown Kiwi, Jimbo. This week was definitely a week of reconnections.

As much as we are loving the tour, we came across the first major annoying thing of the tour, no not queue jumping German tourists but the infamous West Coast sandflies. I am still unsure of what their purpose is on the planet.

Fergie had a little accident this week when he got so excited about his outdoor bath at Glendhu that he stood up and fell out, head first. It was quite an amazing feat as there were 5 adults standing around watching him.

There will be a guest blogger coming soon to offer a different perspective on the big trip so stay tuned.
