What do you do?

We had an interesting evening last night when I discovered that I had run out of data!!! Disaster!!! It turns out that the Tour guide was taping in to my allotment while she had bucket loads. It took three separate calls to 2degrees to sort out a fix, plus a reset of my phone. In the end they gave me some of her data trove as I have nearly a month before my next allocation.
The weather here is atrocious! The van was buffeted about a bit in the night, and by morning nothing had really changed. It was very wet and cold 🥶. Our good friends, Tony and Shelley were parked up beside us and the question to be answered was, "what do you do on a day like this?"
Being 'old farts' (except Shelley), we have Winston's super gold card, thank you Winston! So, train travel is free 👍😍😀 so we went to the Mana station and bordered the train to Waikanae which is the end of the line heading north. Once there, we never got off and the same train 🚆 then headed south to Wellington which is the end of the line in that direction. This time we got off the train and dined in the station cafe for lunch 😋 and the satay pie and chips were delicious 😋. After we were fully satisfied, we embarked the train once again and headed to Mana where we are camped at a FC site. Sadly we said goodbye 👋 to Tony and Shelley who went in search of power (the electrical variety), while the Tour guide and I weathered it out in the very blustery and wet conditions in the van. We have sufficient battery power to keep the heater going. If it stops, it could be an early night under the bed covers. 😏
It's been a different sort of day, and definitely memorable 😍.もっと詳しく
