Update

So it's been a week since my last post (feels like longer), which is a bit remiss of me but things have been going really well. I'm not going to write a blow-by-blow account of what I've been up to, as I find those blogs boring to read. But in shorthand, I've done various walks, visited numerous wineries, been kayaking in the Tasman Sea and generally been chilling out.

I've hired a car and am randomly hopping from hostel to hostel - often deciding to stay in whatever town I am in at 7pm or 8pm. Hostelling was a good choice I think - everyone's very friendly, especially if you are travelling on your own. Very often you keep bumping into people you've met at a previous hostel or at some sort of tour/activity you did the previous week. If I were in a campervan on my own, I'd probably barely get any human contact.
