theres just the two of us bumping around in the six berther for 18 days...we are about to book the van from kea it looks like and yes we have chosen the space over the more compact versions cos i simply couldnt see us doing the bed up every day

we need to be in queenstown and we have to fly in and out of christchurch
we are thinking of visiting queenstown round the end of our trip but not firm on that
if we do...then wed have sat and sun to dri ve the campervan back to christchurch

we might drop it off on sun afternoon rather than the monday because weve read that it can take a while to go through that handing over process and we have a 2oclock flight to catch

we like nature..but wont be doing long treks...wont be doing any of the high adrenalin activities either...well past that stage haha

if anyone can suggest some routes to take thatd be great
going in early november...dont know if we should head north to the top of SI and wait a week for the weather to warm up the south or if it really makes such a difference

dont know whether to do a loop or a figure of eight
so much to see...especially wildlife areas so i know it isnt possible in just the eighteen days
thanks in anticipation
