Although we had the tent with us in New Zealand it had been too cold to consider camping there; so this was the first time we had put it up in anger. I'm not sureif it was linked to the weather there but I had caught a cold in NZ; it was still hanging on two weeks later and I seemed to be developing a chest infection. Of course, I had already passed the cold on to Alessandra so at the end of our first day fending for ourselves we were both ready for sleep even roll mats onthe ground. The tent was tested by heavy showers duiring the night but neither of us noticed and in the morning everything inside was still dry.

MAROOCHYDORE
The story of our tent is slightly interesting or peruaps I should say unusual. I bought the tent when visiting England about a year before our trip and took it back to Brazil as luggage. It has been pitched only twice before; once in England to check everything was there (as I bought it via the Internet) and then again in Brazil for an airing and so Alessandra could see what it looked like. The tent was a money saving idea. We didn't want to cook in it but decided togo for something quite big that we could stand up in. It can be quite tiresome having to get dressed day after day in a sitting or kneeling position.
