New Zealand, month #2

We are closing in on 2 months since we moved to New Zealand.  Here are some photos of the last month which includes a 10 day trip we took all around the South Island in our van.  Most of these nights we camped out in the vast array of 'holiday parks' that offer tent/campervan sites along with a kitchen and showers.  These are a great and cheap option, especially if you are doing extended camping with small children.  The kids survived the trip and Kiwi the Campervan held up with only 1 flat tire and a bit of overheating.
