This afternoon, we drove from Paraparauma to Wellington, which was only about an hours journey, so that wasnt too bad.(I admit, I slept for most of it, so I actually have no idea what the hell it was like, apart from when I woke up, it was raining....) Mum and Paul had a little skirmish when we arrived, which resulted in me being asked to go for a walk whilst they "discussed the matter", which was fine, until after about 5 minutes, the bloody heavens...

We were going to get a campervan, but there are surprisingly, not any available at a decent price at the moment, but thats ok, because they managed to get a really good deal, instead!!!
