COMING SOON - TOUR OF NEW ZEALAND

Well after months of planning the first part of our tour of New Zealand tour started with the loading of the bike for shipment.

We are sending Buzz's Vstrom to Christchurch using a company called get routed

http://www.getrouted.com.au/

Buzz and I dropped the bike at the Brisbane depot this morning and then next month Buzz & Sue will pick it up and ride it to Auckland over 2 weeks, where Sam & I will then meet them, then ride the bike back to Christchurch taking 3 weeks.

Sam & I are really looking forward to this trip. We are planning on spending about 8 days on the Nth Island then the remainder on the South Island. We are going to try and couchsurf our way around as much as possible. Not so much to save money (though that is a bonus) but we are hoping to hook up with as many locals as possible and try and get inot the KIWI culture [If there is such a thing:-) }

You can check out the couchsufing website @ www.couchsurfing.com

We have already made contact with a couple of couchsurfers who are going to put us up and we are really looking forward to meeting them.

Sam and I leave on the 19th of Feb so stay tuned for daily updates.

Here some pics of todays loading.
