House Trucks



New Zealand has many distinctive features, including house trucks. A house truck is a truck that has been custom designed to look and function like a house, including angled roofs, windows, shutters and wood siding. On December 6th, Beth noticed that there was a Gypsy Festival in Orewa that included as many of these house trucks as you can imagine. Apparently so many that they couldn’t all fit in Orewa – about 12 of them were also camped out in the public park in Puhoi, using the public restroom and hanging their laundry out to dry. Definitely something “special” about New Zealand.
