Journeys End

Well it’s all over (for now!) spending our last day in Picton we sat out in the sun and enjoyed the last  few hours of a great holiday.   We have seen some amazing sights and met some wonderful people.   Now we just have the ferry journey to go and again the weather has come up trumps and the sea looks reasonably calm.

Nice Day in Picton

Farewell to the South Island

A few statistics on the trip.   The black lines are where we went.

We travelled a total of 6624 km,   3739km with the caravan on the back.

Total fuel used was 977.67 litres at a cost of $1627 .67 (dearest was Karamea at $1.84/litre!)

Overall accommodation cost was $848.20 at an average nightly cost of $10.09.   We managed that by avoiding motor camps where possible and staying at :

9  x NZMCA Parks, 2 x freedom Camping Areas, 18 x Low Cost Parks, 6 x POP’s, 10 x Motor Camps, 2 x clubs.    (Now try and tell me that NZMCA membership isn’t worth the cost ! ! )

So that’s it for a little while, thanks for following the blog – until next time !
