We haven't got long on our internet usage, as we are currently in a backpacker hostel in trendy ponsonby, just to the west of the city centre.
Unfortunely, Diddley i Potatoes came back from the AA with a distinctly less-then-favourable report. It would need quite a lot of work doing to it over the next few months (new tyres; repair oil leak; new radiator) that it would not be worth the hassle unless the owners were willing to drop the asking price.
The owners were not willing to drop the asking price. So we're not buying it.
We've seen some more vans today, and we are getting ever more fed up with the situation and just want to get going. We've seen a couple today that are ok, but not blown us away. we're going to the car fair tomorrow morning and then to see a rental company that are selling some of their old stock. Whatever happens, we WILL have a campervan by the end of tomorrow as we need to get cracking. It mey end up being a van that we've seen today. We'll let you know.
No pictures for the moment as we haven't got long left so no time to upload any.
We've enjoyed sleeping in a bed in the hostel, but it is a bit weird experiencing the heirarchies that exist between 'lifers' (or so it seems) and the odd passing traveller. At dinner time when we were cooking in the kitchen, we felt as if we were definitely stepping on people's toes as they walked around the place as if they owned it. We're glad we won't be staying in hostels too much. Bring on the campervan.
We're now going to learn to play cribbage.
