HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!! Hope you had a good day and got treated well - sorry I'm not there :(
Well this week started horribly - the boss is on A/L for 2 weeks and it was down to me and the other new lad to run the show basically......well he phoned in sick...so yea it was me on my own basically blagging my way through mon/tues/weds untill he felt well enough to come back. But I wasn't short of stuff to do and I was running around like an idiot (which secretly I love) so the days went quick! And...I GOT MY VAN!!! So I bought a bike rack (yes I have no bike) and went to pick up from a what i though was local person - who turned out to be half an hour away up a mountain haha But I'm very happy with the rack - it fits onto my tow bar and can hold upto 3 bikes - makes my van even longer but its all good :) Then on Saturday I went for a good drive over to lake wairarapa. A nice hour drive over a mountain and down some single track roads thought its a good start to see if the van (which still hasn't got a name yet) was good. Awesome trip - amazing views and the roads were unbelievable and windy and cliff edges! The lake wasn't bad either - need a kayak or something to play on there though! Then today I've started the remodel. I've decided to keep the back bench seat in. This folds flat, is comfy and has 3 seat belts. So I'm going to use that as half a bed and make a platform to act as a cooking bench and bed support. I have built a cooking bench which is fixed to the side wall with lots of room underneath to store pans/water and what ever else I need. I've put progress photos up on the website! This weekend has gone too quick! I want another 2 days to finish the van! I'm planning on working and finishing the van next weekend then I'm going to look into going up to the caves and doing some white water rapids the weekend after. I'm going to ring them next week and see if I can book on to a tour or something! I'll camp in my van a couple of nights too!! Not much else to report - oh i finally bought some boots - another bargain sale so my toes won't go black and fall off now in the caves hopefully! haha- comments
