I like where they put "caravan parks" here - quite convenient at times. I am on the east coast just north of Christchurch, south island's biggest city at 375,000 (about 1/3 of the population of the entire island!) I was headed to the west coast but changed my mind when I saw cold & wet for the entire coming week; I'll come back to that later. As always, you never get rid of your problems, just trade them for others - winds in the mountains on the way here were up to 35mph (difficult for both riding and tenting!) OK now, though.
