Clothes
Travelling in New Zealand, you can never tell how the weather will turn out. One day it could be hot with sunshine and the next it could be cold and wet. So, when packing clothes for travel, it is essential to have both warm and wet weather clothing. It is crucial to ensure you have suitable clothing for both hot and cold weather. Bringing both sets of clothes will help prepare you to be dressed accordingly, saving you time and money. Proper clothing will also let you continue exploring New Zealand and not feel trapped in your Campervan with lousy weather. It is also important to check the weather to make sure you know which days are likely to be better. Doing this can help you plan out activities during the trip.
You should aim to bring:
- Jacket
- Jumper
- Pants
- Appropriate footwear
- Socks
- Shirt
- Shorts
- Hat
- Beanie
- Pyjama’s
