What a day it has been. It is almost Christmas Day and we are parked on the street outside the BBC, having a dinner of cheese, crackers and nuts.
An incredible amount has been achieved today; so much more than we hoped. Some things will need to be finished off when we pass back through Taupo in February, but we are absolutely delighted with how the bus looks. Paul and Shelly have done amazing work.
Unfortunately, when we went to leave we discovered they had forgotten to wire in the tow bar. This means we can't tow our little car as we would have no lights. We will have to drive our two vehicles separately until this can be remedied - which won't happen in the next four days of public holidays.
So we're staying put tonight and will drive to Pataua tomorrow, starting our adventure in a slightly off-key way.
Happy Christmas, Sue! It's been a long road to this point, and I'm so excited for you. I'm sure the bobbles at the beginning will become just a funny story later, in context of all the wonderful adventures you will have.
