Relocation cars, law and ethics:  Legally if you see an animal in the middle of the road (lets say a mum and her ducklings), you are supposed to carry on driving straight through or over them without swerving to miss them if you can’t safely stop on the side of the road (no animal rights here). What if it’s a cow?? What does the insurance say??? This could be a great thing to find out…….any...Read More

Parking Overnight in a Campervan

Posted on January 12, 2011 by noel in Backpacking & Accommodation, News, Sights & Attractions, Transport, Travel Tips, Uncategorized
I just received a question regarding parking overnight on the side of the road in a campervan. I did my research and have found the answers I was looking for: Locals don’t like people camping on the streets in their towns (And you really don’t want to be making trouble with the locals!).

New Zealand number 2 on CNN’s list of top destinations in 2011

Posted on December 31, 2010 by noel in News, Sights & Attractions, Travel Tips
It’s not that surprising that New Zealand made it to number 2 on the CNN list of places to be in 2011. Apparently the team at CNN had a chat with three travel experts (Robert Reid, U.S. travel editor for Lonely Planet; Pauline Frommer, creator of Pauline Frommer’s guidebooks; and Martin Rapp, senior vice president of leisure sales at Altour) who, between them have decided that New Zealand is one of the top places to be in 2011 (second only to the big apple). This may well be due to the 2011 Rugby...Read More
