• Manapouri

    5–6 maj 2024, Nya Zeeland ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    Just as a change from heavy frost, we woke up to a pea souper fog. It took a wee while for the sun to burn it off and then it was glorious weather, including some very pretty clouds.
    We packed up the caravan, hitched up and got on our way to Manapouri. At least that's what we planned! A nice straight forward run through. Not what fate had in store for us!
    Driving along the gravel road quite happily, when there was a bang! Blowout in one of our brand new tyres on the ute! Bugger!! Paul had all my sympathy as he did the change. We've not had to do that especially on this vehicle and all the gear you need is stashed in secret hidey holes where you would least expect!! After about an hour we were ready to get under way and made it to Manapouri without any more problems!
