So today we headed further south via Auckland. Darren hadn't been happy with the sound of the engine and gearbox from day one and so opted that we swing via the depot to do a spot of complaining!
To cut a long story short, the mechanic agreed that both were on their way out and agreed to swap our clunky campervanmobile for a whizzier model, give us $68 compensation for our troubles and let us off a quarter tank of diesel. Winner!
Up till this point I thought I'd been doing a sterling job of navigating us around hills and mountains (thank you for the maps, Jackie!!)... Anyway, today we took the scenic route to Rotorua - egg-smelling capital of the North.
It was late by the time we arrived and sneaked into a closed campsite and parked up to an open space that sounded distictly water-like. We couldn't believe our luck when we woke up to this. :o)
