CAR BRA's

So your driving along and your front end is sagging- what do you need? A CAR BRA- available in a variety of sizes! You feel like time is getting you down- CAR BRA will solve all. 

WHAT  THE HELL IS A CAR BRA (I HAVE SEEN ONE AND STILL DONT KNOW) AND WHY WOULD YOU WANT ONE? 

So in NZ as previously stated. Let's catch you all up on life in the southern hemisphere. 

Saw Sarah and nick which was good and went for a drive around Christchurch. Quite a nice day- bought Ben a coat as the silly bugger came without one. 

THEN... The camper van strikes. 

When we picked the van of DOOM up it was running, 'Don't worry' they said 'it'll be ok, it's just been stood for a while!' 

So apart from being filthy and yuck- but you dont notice at first - off we went. Stopped for a night at a campsite, use the lights to read for half an hour- its a camper van you presume you can. quess what- it didn't start. 

Blah blah blah AA man comes out jump starts it. This happens for 4 days in a row whilst getting pretty pissed off eventually they agree to let us take it to a garge. 

'Oh your battery's too small!!!' says the bloke. Whoop de Whoop just what we needed and also the switch which runs the lights from the main battery and stops it running down is buggered and is draining the battery even when it is off!

So got a new battery but not a switch and so reading from mobily light- thank god it's got a proper light on it. 


Moving on -

the weather was crap crap crap for the first couple of days. (Sam like it was in somerset way on) but now it is lovely. Went to the  beach and a glacier in one day. Got slightly burnt (silly me) and one day there was lots of snow. 

Will add pics another time and update you on the better side of NZ next time.

Hol.
