Stayed a night at Hamner Springs, could not go any further, found the last bed in a cold cabin!!! Breakfast along the way today, then found all beds full everywhere! We are staying at Oamaru tonight, with a wonderful lady I met in the butcher's shop, when arranging to collect the bacon and ham for the farm!!! Should be OK tomorrow. Thank goodness you came out from Takaka early!!!<br />Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591608932391275570.post-5371128695146719192018-02-22T12:45:39.006+13:002018-02-22T12:45:39.006+13:00Oh how scary Jenny....it is frightening in the van...Oh how scary Jenny....it is frightening in the van.....still remember our hail storm in Broken Hill...yikes!
