It's taken me 50 years to do it but I can now say I am a true kiwi traveler! I've always wondered what it would be like to just park up by the side of the river/sea in your little kombi van, open up a bottle of wine and be completely self sufficient. Well over the last weekend I fulfilled this joint dream with a fellow 50 celebrant and long time ami anglais Phil.I wont bore you with all the details of perfect camping spots, victorious backgammon championships and international 'baby-foot'(table football) tournaments (the local joint french/irish team punished us in the final, must have been the 4 guinness beforehand that cramped our style). All need to say is you really must do it before you say 'ah I'm too old for all that!'. We shared 3 great nights with Lilly (aka Doris) a rather sexy French conversion, who purred along at 80km without even a hint of trouble. Thanks for this great weekend go to Phil and Heather at Sunflower Campers www.sunflowercampers.com who bent over backwards to help fulfill our dream. I think the photos speak louder than words.
