Now<br />

By this stage in the trip we had managed to score one shower at Lea’s<br />

place and that was it. When we arrived at the motorhome rental depot<br />

to pack all our gear and get ready for the flight home, we could have<br />

kissed the attendant when he told us there was a shower in the office<br />

area we were welcome to use. Fresh and clean, we were hoping to<br />

see our favourite airhostess on the flight home. Alas it was not to be,<br />

which was probably a good thing as everyone was pretty tired and all<br />

we wanted was to relax a while and watch a film.<br />

So the trip came to an end, “health started tomorrow…”<br />

New Zealand was not a place I would have picked in my top ten places<br />

to go on a surf trip, but it has certainly muscled its way into the top<br />

ten list of places I want to visit again. If you are interested in mind<br />

blowing landscapes and good waves then I say go, get a group of<br />

mates together and book a motorhome, it’s an amazing way to see the<br />

country. I promise you will not be disappointed – and I only saw the<br />

North Island…<br />

The day after I arrived back in Manly I ran into my Kiwi neighbours,<br />

they all asked how the trip was and the smile on my face was a dead<br />

giveaway, “it’s pretty good there, ay...” was all they needed to say<br />

to get my agreement. And if the surf goes flat you can always throw<br />

yourself off the side of a cliff in some creative way!<br />

As far as my recommendations for travel go, the Perfect Wave Surf<br />

Experience Specialists can get you there, organise the best rates on<br />

the motorhome and even organise you a surf guide. We spent a week,<br />

but could easily have spent a month… Don’t just think about it - GO.<br />
