We landed in Auckland just after lunchtime and were collected from the airport by Apollo campervans to collect our home for the next 4 weeks! We left Auckland straightaway and drove north along State Highway 1. We hadn’t been driving long before it got dark so we started looking for somewhere to stay for the night. In the end we found the Sheepworld Caravan and Camping Park in Warkworth, and a very friendly welcome from Ian (the owner), so we parked up for our first night in New Zealand.
