Day 1
We hit the road at 4:20am on our way the wellington to catch the ferry.
it rained the whole time.until we got to wellington broaded the boat, crossed to the South Island, Then off the boat and it started to rian again. We drove down to Dunedin were we stayed the night at Larnarch castle.
The rain was so hard into Dunedin the last 40-50kms you could only drive at about 40kmh. we got at larnarch Castle at 10:20pm

more photos of the out side with the kids. weren't aloud to take photos inside, you had to buy prephotos of the inside.
let just say in full of wooden carvings and plaster cellings 100% awesome.
This was a kids day to day so we took them to Cadbury chocolate factory, eat lots of chocolate.
We parked outside the old dunedin train station.

As you can see in the last photo my wiper blade rubber came apart. so had to get out a bit of old speaker wire and the wifes needle and thread it up. the little clip broke on the blade.
we then meet up with a few car and drove to Gore. and then hit the bar for a well needed drink.

New Zealand a beautiful place. it one of them thing living here you don't take it all in as we see it all the time. The south Island is much better than the North Island more fram land than wild coutry side like the south island.
its just started spring time here so the weather all over the place sunny, rain, hail, snow all in one day.

there a say here:- You can going snow skiing in the morning then hit the beach for a swim in the afternoon and cook up a BBQ for tea.

 

[Airstream]

Ok. Guys.
Car pics to come soon.
its going to be a bit of everything as NZ is to small to have a C bdoy only show. more just your Valiants so there be afew cars that you may not seen befor.
But i must say the C body did have a very good turn out .
