another quick update as cj is shopping and ive escaped for an hour !
Left Wanaka all going fairly well except for the camper was sounding a little rough and wasnt too keen on changing gear anymore, a call to Backpacker was made and a visit to "Marty" the mechanic who did the mechanics thing of sucking through his teeth and declaring that it was Knackered ! I could have told him that !! So we limped the wrecked "Ricky" to queenstown airport for a replacement van, which was newer and smarter, happy days, or so we thought !
Long drive now to milford sound bout 4 hours, we camped for the night at a conservation site middle of nowhere, hoping to get up early and get the first tour boat around milford, Up early and the new van wouldnt start, ahhhhhhhh
Luckly a french bloke offered a lift the 1hr back to nearest town, we shall call him Jean Pierre as most of them are, We were then stranded in town with no van all day, the garage dropped it off at the local site that night and collected it to fix it the next day, so not too bad,
Had to then drive all the way back to milfod sound for the boat trip, After all the hassle and the 3 days wasted I can honestly say I wasnt even impressed with Milford sound and cj was bothered about it either. ( more water and hills) You live and learn i guess.
so a 4 hour drive last night brought us back to Queenstown, camped by the lake and now in town, going for a look around in abit, then investigating jumping off a bridge with a rubber band around my ankles for fun, so if the blog posts stop, I prob resemble a pizza, and will be delived home by Dominos Pizza express,
Wish me luck, Ta ta
