Rainy day in Rotorua

09:00 get up, receive text message that suitcases were flown to Rotorua with the first plane from Auckland
10:15 check out of International Motor Inn Motel
10:30 Uber to the airport
10:45 arrival at the airport, the search for the suitcases begins, chaos due to further delays and cancellations
11:05 We get our suitcases back, have breakfast at the airport
11:25 meet Jill for van handover, toilet flush broken, water spill, overall impressions: Fantail is a bit more worn down than expected
13:45 departure to the nearest Countdown supermarket
14:00 Grocery Shopping, it’s raining or drizzling, Semmy’s finger gets pinched, we need a (working) toilet…our nerves are on edge
14:45 first visit the public toilets at the lake and make a further plan, prefer to start slow with our new camper life and drive to the camping site at the lake
15:30 Arrival All Seasons Holiday Park, get to know our camper van better
19:00 Strange and highly annoying beeping noises inside the van. We suspect a broken Inverter (??)
20:00 bbq steaks and some fine red and white wine 🍷
22:00 relax
23:30 sleep - what a day 🤯Read more
