Happy birthday Samantha!!!

We get up early and aim to head into VC with Chris, he's not feeling well so we abort that plan and head into the local town to check out vehicle insurance if we buy a car - it's not great at $650 dollars plus we have the hassle of sending plates back and selling the car never mind the possibility that it could break down at extra cost.

John need us out earlier now as Jess's mum needs to come back sooner than planned to pack up having found a new place to rent, timing isn't great and we need to knuckle down and find a motorhome for two weeks so we get booking and sort out our travels as far as New York - productive but pretty stressful day! All is well in the end though and it's given us the kick we need, we'll be staying until Wednesday. We are so grateful we found a solution, it's not usually that easy for motorhome companies to book us with only 24 hours' notice.

Relieved Matt cooks up Spag Bol for us all and John takes us to get a cheap mobile phone for our Canada when he's finished work.

Given we didn't have any sights to see today see above pic of our drive through the Rockies.
