The next day we awoke early and had a lovely jog along the beach front and freshened up using the deluxe shower in our campervan,(spult…splut…splurt…splurt!) then headed off towards Dunedin predicted timescale 4hours, stopping only at a gypsy fair to take glance. From here after quite a few hours of driving (9 hours) we stopped off at the miraculous Moeraki Boulders! They were a collection of perfectly rounded boulders on a sandy beach, some smooth skinned and others cracked like eggs. No one knows how they got there and many researches have suggested a range of reasons for example aliens, rock formations, dinosaur eggs or marbles of the gods…. We kinda felt that they looked more like giant Maltesers and half eaten Easter eggs…..we wish!!!! That would explain why we cracked open the rest of the fudge when we got back to the campervan ready hit the road. From here we hoped to be in Dunedin and set up camp on the Otago Peninsula with in the hour……2hours later and in the dark Lucy is reversing all 6.6 meters of the truck for a mile up a dead end, narrow street situated on the side of a mountain, no closer to finding a spot to set up camp!!!!!! After driving a further 3 miles in the wrong direction from here, we finally found a camping spot to settle down for the night …….huddled in the corner of an RFC (all legitimate of course).

Lucy woke the next day to find Donzy pacing the van, Donna hastily recalled that she had been up for over an hour and was slightly unimpressed by the weather conditions, breathing condensation into the air her words were….."Lucy this is unbearable……..i can't cope anymore…….we have to do something about this!" Lucy turned over and peaked from under a mass of duvets and pillows with her hood securely fastened under her chin, and effortlessly asked Donna what she had in mind???????

Donna Replied "I'm gonna find a camp shop and buy a gas heater!!!!!"

Lucy's natural reaction was "Christ Don..…you got another jacket in the cupboard!" .Donna's hostile response was "Lucy this is not right…….I'm not happy!!!!"

Lucy whilst sliding back under the covers agreed stating "ok…..we'll go out and get you a hot water bottle later". This wasn't the response Donna was hoping for but later found herself pleased with the outcome when walking out of the DIY warehouse in Gore100 dollars up carrying a pea green hot water bottle……..who was she to know gas heaters cost that much???????
