| 793825 | 2009-07-22 02:01:00 | Rolling and roaming in New Zealand by camper van ( . latimes . com/articles/la-trw-newzealandbox19-2009jul19" target="_blank">travel . latimes . com) My husband, Nolan, and I had pulled in next to a train station to make coffee in our rented Volkswagen Vanagon (we call them KombiWagens here in the US) camper when a wiry, red-haired man ambled over and knocked on our sliding door . It was our first morning in New Zealand, and we assumed he was going to tell us we couldn't park there . Hands in the pockets of his fleece jacket, he smiled apologetically at interrupting our breakfast, and leaned in . "What year is it?" he asked, meaning our bright orange van (a 1982) . We'd hired it the day before in Christchurch from Classic Campers, which we'd found on the Web as renting "stylish retro campervans . " It was then that we noticed an almost identical orange Vanagon across the parking lot . . . . etc . See? Metla, get that beer cold - I'm coming soon! |
