April 25 is ANZAC Day.. Let us remember..
This is an occasion that people, every year, pay tribute and remember. ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps, these members landed at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War. It is a public holiday in some parts of the world like the Cook Islands, Samoa and many more.
The Dawn Parades and other commemoration or memorials nationwide are attended by the local community, as well as the uniformed community service groups.
ANZAC Day promotes a sense of unity for everyone. Paper poppies are given away and worn as symbols of remembrance. The day is a half-day holiday in New Zealand, as per the Anzac Day Act 1966. But this is not only a remembrance of war, it is also a celebration of life for many!

Koala
It’s my first time in Australia and I was expecting koalas and kangaroos to roam the streets freely much like in some asian country where the sacred bulls and cows roam the streets like they own it. But no! I felt the aussie charm right away after I stepped off from our campervan hire australia. It’s the greatest feeling because this was the first time I actually went outside the country!
I’ve done island hopping before but I have never made it to another continent. It was pretty exciting to see all the sights here, and I’ve tried some of their food. I couldn’t finish off a plate! A few of our fellow campervan enthusiasts shared a table with us, and being adventurous we each ordered different types of food. And when I say different, I mean ostrich, deer and many more mammalians and birds. It was delicious! At first I told myself to think it was just a cow’s leg. So I kept thinking beef, beef, beef! So I wouldn’t feel sorry. I couldn’t finish the whole leg.
They even thought of joining that contest where a person has to eat one whole steak of twenty pounds!
Well, so much of our first night, I almost had a stomach ache and a day in the washroom. If you really think about it, I had fun! Tomorrow it’s off to the parks and preserves. Now I get to see the real kangaroos and crocs and koalas! I’ll make them probably my next post cards. Which reminds me, I left my camera in the motorhome rental.
Motorhome Rental
Traveling is the most regarded lifestyle an individual can invest on since it involves constant and solid planning and cooperative external factors like the weather condition. But one cannot deny the intense feeling he gets from starting off on his first trip to a foreign land, driving into the unknown with a map and road guides, and the “i don’t want to go home yet” charm when nearing the end of the trip, let’s say, on a New Zealand Motorhome Rental?
A campervan hire or motorhome rental can give you exactly that. Why? You only pack once, not having to worry about over-packing and forgetting to leave your unmentionables at the hotel room. You do not have to worry about hotel accommodations and check out times every single day. You and your family and friends get to save on food and fuel. Most of all, save on time, money and disappointment. With lots of storage space and room space, ideal for entertainment – without worrying about breaking hotel furniture or overcharge stays. Even the kids would love to run around in it. Yes, a motorhome is kid-friendly, with booster and baby seats, and safety features too!
You have all the necessities you need from a motor home. It is simply a mobile home. It has a shower (hot and cold), kitchen and beds and living space you can rely on, much like in your own home. The only difference is, you get to travel with it. You don’t have to worry about going potty, you don’t have to hold it in, the wash room is just a few feet away. Snack on your trip while driving to and from places, getting energized for that afternoon shopping. Get to enjoy the many outdoor activities like swimming and surfing at cool beaches with accessible food and extra clothes a few feet away. Equipped with a freezer and kitchen equipment. Then at the end of the day, kick back, and sleep a sound sleep with the comforts of great air-conditioning and the company of family and friends.
The vehicle is much enjoyed when you are booked on a longer trip, it isn’t much fun when you just drive around for a day. One reason is you wouldn’t get to cover the places and major tourist destinations in the area. With time on your hand, you get to go wherever you want, at your own pace. And most of all, spending some quality time with the company that came along with. When you get to the pick up point, your campervan rental is set and ready to go. Everything and anything at a reasonable cost.
So plan that next vacation on a motor home. Just remember to book in advance. Talk with a friendly reservationist to assist in accommodating your bookings and inquiries, along with the insurance matters. I suggest with a New Zealand Motorhome Rental. Travel the stress-free way, I suggest in a campervan rental. Keep in mind, this trip has its bonus: You get to learn about life, and exchange some pretty neat ideas along the way
