Today Nicks long lost friend Julian offered to take us out on his boat down the Waikato River to the Power Station he works in - this sounded like a perfect hangover cure. We turned up and got kitted out in our lifejackets and waited patiently whilst he tried to start the boat. After 20 minutes him and Nick |(aka "Chuckle Brothers") decided it would be best to jump start it with the campervan. 10 minutes later they still have no success and I look up to see smoke pouring out of the campervan cab as the jump leads had caught fire. Nick managed to extinguish the fire with his hands so has some cracking blisters! At this point they finally gave up and we went to the Power Station by car. We had a really interesting tour of the museum and saw all the gubbings of how they generate electricity from the dams (which of course went completely over my head). Nick has promised to explain it all to me at some point if I don't ask stupid questions!
