Cycle complete!
The west coast can be stunning at times, at others it can be quite monotonous and empty so much so it caused me to create this "intriguing" game/experiment. Campervans vs Cars. Basically I was gonna count the number of cars against the number of campervans that passed by and see who won. Personally I backed the campervans given their huge popularity on the roads along the west coast.
So I treated the next hour like a game of hurling moreso it was Kilkenny as the cars and Galway as the campervans. (For those of you who are not Irish hurling is a popular national sport and you should check it out on YouTube!) Two 30 minute halves would be the timeframe and I imagined myself with the distinctive voice of Michael O Murihartaigh commentating the proceedings! First off the board were Galway with a Britz campervan making its way towards me. But no sooner had I said it a Honda passed me out and the score was 1-1. The road quietened down a bit until a spate of 3 campervans bore down the road in front of me and before you knew it the campervans were 7-2 up with 15 minutes gone. It wasn't long till Henry Shefflin brought the cars back into the game and it was tit for tat all the way up to half time, where the score incredibly was level at 11-11. Joe Canning (An Apollo campervan!) extended Galways lead as soon as the second half got underway but it was the last campervan to be seen for the rest of the game. Soon a Toyota passed, followed by another one and then 3 more various branded cars passed one after the other to dampen the campervans hopes. Shefflin was in flying form and incredibly they kept Galway quiet the rest of the match with the score after 60 minutes finishing: Cars (Kilkenny) 34 - 12 Campervans (Galway). Yes I know this may seem like an incredibly pointless article but if there are 2 things you can take home from it, it is these... 1. Cars are statistically more numerous than campervans on NZs West coast. 2. I am easily entertained!

Whaha! Well, the next step would be to compare cars+campervans with makeshift beds vs. normal cars. Because my car is also a camper.. Hope Australia is treating you well!
