Hello Blackwells .... New Zealand Take 2

Our 1st night in the Campervan was great! It was a bit chilly but so cosy! We were so used to having electric blankets for the past 2 weeks ....... spoilt! I had to get up first and put the heating on for Ben! Typical aye ?!

We were showered and heading to the airport for 7am. We got there and watched a Qantas flight fly overhead......possibly the Blackwell’s! We parked up the van and walked into Arrivals, feels weird being back at the airport again, we seemed to have spent so much time there.

After what felt like ages, but really 30 minutes ‘The Blackwell’s’ were walking out through the arrivals. They looked great, it was so lovely seeing them again after so long. After hugs and a brief chat we were all walking out to introduce them to the van. Then we all set off back down the road to the campsite.

We all sat around enjoying a brew and catching up and then Mam sorted out the bags. They had a shower to freshen up and then we headed out to the local Asian Supermarket for some bits for tea. It was nice to get some fresh air.

We noticed the jetlag was starting to kick in so Dad went and put his head down for a couple of hours. It was like a relay after that, Ben went next then Mam had an hour.

They all managed to stay awake for a stir fry for tea, then we left them to chill for a bit whilst we went over to Camp Kitchen.

After chatting with a couple and ‘borrowing’ some books, we went back to the camper to them both asleep!!

That was our first proper night in the camper! Awesome good times!!!
