Northbound in New Zealand
Landed in Auckland a day after leaving Tahiti! We lost a complete day again. We picked up the hire car “Gavin Still” which was a blue Mitsubishi ASX. Note that every car we have hired since 1999 has been called…

Just preparing the final bits for “part two”. Now organising this trip has been slightly more complex than the first. We opted to use a travel agent to book our flights, as the trip involved multiple flights to 11 countries…
