Day after disaster..

So I had a really good night's kip last night in my Scooby Doo Van! I parked by the ocean in a really quiet spot and the moon was rising over the sounds. Really amazing. I sat there for about half an hour after finishing my home cooked pasta dinner and just watched the stars. Seeing the Southern Cross is pretty cool. Also hearing the waves in the distance without any man made sounds is really fun. It's so tranquil.

After talking to another British couple who were staying in their van too, I felt a lot better about my situation. They told me about all the other crap that they've heard about from others and the same thing has happened to quite a few people apparently. And guess what, in the exact place where I was. I wish they had a sign there!!

Anyway I've decided to continue on. I also called the British Embassy earlier and they were really great. Basically I can get a new passport sorted out and that'll allow me to continue on my travels. The US passport is a little trickier but hopefully that shouldn't be too much of a problem. I will be calling them tomorrow since it's a public holiday (Easter Monday) here in NZ so I can't really do anything at the moment.
