Things have not improved as we have now spent the afternoon in the staff canteen at a Mercedes garage in Wellington with a throttle/automatic gearbox problem.<br />Hopefully the right part turns up tomorrow and the garage can fix it in time for us to get on the ferry with a safe vehicle. Having had a scary experience with a large truck pushing us up a hill when we had no power is something i never want to experience again.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-33872135433761091502012-01-11T08:02:21.519+00:002012-01-11T08:02:21.519+00:00Hi Alan R

She has done well so far.<br />But, the weather is awful. So bad that we cannot see the hills. we decided to move west to Wanganui to get some brighter weather. Route 4 had so many landslides, the road was blocked in parts and civils were clearing up.<br />We need to be in Wellington on thursday night for the ferry on friday morn so we needed to move on unfortunately.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-84586820581745048532012-01-09T17:03:35.963+00:002012-01-09T17:03:35.963+00:00You can't blame me for this one!

You really should try to get up Mount Ngauruhoe whilst you're there. It's a fine stroll around the summit, and descent must be one of the world's best scree runs.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.com
