The people you meet

4 December 2010

We're really looking to meeting lots of different people, when we're living on the road.

This week we had some time to kill in Taupo before we visited the BBC, so we went for a drive to Mangakino. There was a lovely big bus parked by the side of the lake near the boat ramps, so we wandered over to be nosy.

We met the most lovely couple, and were lucky enough to spend an hour or so with them, drinking coffee and talking about life on the road.

They've been living in their bus for six years and consider it home. They've never had trouble finding work when they want it - a fact that gives us confidence for our future.

But most of all, they were friendly, welcoming and more than happy to share stories of their adventures and some advice.
