Oh yes! Three nights so far!! It is great... just as long as the weather is good and not wet... (crossing our fingers). It is a great van with a kitchen in the back and a fold out madras in the middle which means that we are sleeping very good... with real sheets and covers. Not that cold either...
Yesterday I made a "McGyver"-mosquito-net to keep the mosquitos out of the "sleeping-area" while we were cooking dinner.
We have left Auckland and snorkled by the Goat Island... got to see nice fishes and cray-fish(not that common!!). Then we went to see big trees in Kauri forest and ended up on a lovely camping-ground just by a nice lake.
Yesterday we moved quickly over the landscape... and I drove for the first time!! It wasn't that hard actually! Today we are in Waitomo caves and we did the black-water rafting looking at Glow-worms!! It was amazing... floating down the caves on a tube with no lights... soooo coool!!! The worms were glowing in the ceeling... a bit cold but the hot shower after got us warm.
So... we are now heading to the smelly town Rotorua, but before that we need to find somewhere to spend the night. Since sun goes down by 19 we need to plan and cook dinner before that... then we go to bed around nine... But we rise early! And mom... thanks for the "pann-lampa" idea.. it is brilliant in the van!!!
Miss you all a lot...
Pictures soon... I hope... not that easy to load them up... but soon...
Cheers mate!

Kul, tänk på att det är bara första timmarna som det luktar i Roturua sedan vänjer man sig =)
