A confession; I am actually now in the South of the South Island. I’ve been so taken up with being here and visiting people I’ve been neglecting the blog! So here are some pictures of our journey down towards Wellington to speed things up…
Truck drivers are more often female in New Zealand than in the UK. Here’s one lady stopping off for a quick bite in the cab of a fabulously shiny truck. I have a couple of long distance lorry driver friends (male and female) who have talked about enjoying the passing countryside on their travels. Well, I must say, this would be a pretty awesome place to see some spectacular countryside…
…and quite a number of new housing developments too (they seem to be springing up almost everywhere. I hope this won’t ruin the sparsely inhabited wilderness that is New Zealand)…
