Favourite country visited so far
Nikki: New Zealand
Mark: New Zealand
Australia
Highs: Camping in our van, Mon Repos turtles, Noosa Heads, free public BBQs, back to the land of the "English" speakers!
Lows: Hostel in Brisbane, Gold Coast, lack of travelling time, the Americanised attitude and towns.
Nikki
Best: waking up in Springbrook National Park and rolling the door open to the amazing view, watching Dad catch a squid (freaky animal!) and catching 3 little fish mzself (well 2 little fish and an evil looking congar eel that got away), being able to make our own food again, Running under the waterfall at Springbrook, salt and vinegar crisps (very sadly missing from S/East Asias repetoire)! Driving.
Worst: Having cold water thrown over me in Mark´s attempt at a "shower", 42ยบ heat while driving 7 hours in the van without a/c, not being able to see more of the south and west coasts, missing Ayres rock.
Mark
Best: Wet ´n´ Wild water park, Wentworth Falls walk, Inventing a "shower", driving, meal at Shaky Tables, seeing kangaroos & koalas, campsite at The Entrance.
Worst: Losing bank card, Byron Bay, first boiling hot night in the camper van.
Best Accomodation: Our camper/Sydney view apartment
Best City: No city per se but enjoyed the drive up and down the coast.
New Zealand
Highs: Awesome scenery, Wellington city, ease of travel, laid back people, less americanisation, just generally an amazing country.
Lows: The extremly annoying German girl who seemed to be on EVERY SINGLE BUS WE EVER TRAVELLED ON and would not SHUT UP or SIT DOWN! the ease of travel (made us lazy travellers), arriving in a town late at night and leaving early in the morning, lack of time
Nikki
Best: Wellington, the hot water pools in Rotorua, awe inspiring views, Te Papa, not wanting to leave, Burgerfuel (shhhh).
Worst: not having long to spend in places, pushy bus drivers only out to get their commission, the german girl...
Mark
Best: Free chocolate at Cadbury World, Burgerfuel burgers, amazing scenery, Franz Josef glacier.
Worst: Hurting ankle in Rotorua kiddy playground, leaving, felt too rushed, Auckland hostels.

Wow looks like you guys are having a great time. I'm interested to know where you booked your campervan?
We booked our camper through Wicked Campers, they are everywhere in OZ and definitly work out the cheapest (we did a lot of scouring). Ask if they have any relocations (moving a van to a different city) cause they are free to do so would save you a packet.
have fun! :)
