Auckland City
Well, the gear box broke…. :( a lovely Kiwi lady directed us to Super Cheap Auto, we came out of the shop and the reverse wouldn’t work! Eek! So we took it to the garage in Albany and went to Nomads Backpackers in the city and decided to drown our sorrows and get drunk! What a good night we had! Ha Ha! But the next day then found out the gearbox the mechanic ordered didn’t fit, so sadly we had to wait a few more days for 2 more gearbox’s to arrive at the garage, so we were stuck in the city, and all over the news was ‘the biggest storm ever’ was approaching N.Z, well at least we were on the 6th floor to see it (we thought) but it never happened, we got all excited but all we got were two days of light rain and winds boooooooo! All that hype over nothing! Anyway six days had gone by and we still hadn’t got the van back, 3 gearbox’s ordered and none fit! So the last gearbox he could get was in Wellington and he was 99.9% sure it would fit but….it would take two days to arrive, so obviously we had our doubts it wouldn’t fit and decided to get out of Auckland for the weekend and head to a hotel near the beach for some relaxation as it was also the Big Day Out -‘new metal’ mini festival.
