Day 52 Turangi

Thankfully the loud noise from the race track next to the park stopped soon after I loaded my blog. It made the evening much more pleasant.
The lady in the next camper came over and asked if I was a 'babe'. There is a Facebook group called Motorhome Babes. I am a member of it. You place something orange in the window of your Motorhome and others will know you are traveling on your own. Think this is the first one I have come across on this trip. We had a lovely conversation. Rose is from Howick in Auckland and has a black lab that travels with.
This morning I could actually see a mountain before I left Taupo! No where to stop and take a picture easily. Not sure what mountain it was - sorry. I can't seem to see what the name is, on my map.
I was able to do my laundry when I arrived at Turangi. Sheets needed a freshen up, plus other stuff.
So there I was, washing in the machine, nice sunny day I decided to sit outside the laundromat and a police car with siren and lights going parks almost right in front of me. A car with a male driver needed to be spoken. Three police officer, were at the scene. They talked for a few minutes to the driver and then they must have decided the driver of the car needed to go with them. He was not happy about that to put it mildly and one policeman said get out of the car now or I will trazer you. My little old heart was racing to see something like this in real life. Some would have got their phone out and recorded it but I wasn't sure what to do. Just sat there.
The man did get out of the car using very bad language and I reckon he wasn't much a fan of the police. They took him away. Excitement over for the day/week.
I happily waited for my laundry to finish. Small towns things can be interesting occasionally at midday!
On to the NZMCA park. Very quiet here but more are arriving.
Lovely day but a cool wind.Lue lisää
