NZ: A new woofing adventure: doing a bit of everything in the middle of nowhere
Picking up where I left off….I dropped Ben off at the bus station then headed off to Kinloch, where I had arranged to ‘woof’ for the next 3 weeks – I was to be a housekeeper/maid/kitchen hand/cafĂ©/shop assistant person. My car had been playing up a lot in the last few days and I said to Ben – if it was going to break down, it would be the day I had to drive to Kinloch, which is essentially in the middle of nowhere. If only I had put a bet on it….. I picked up a hitch hiker, and no sooner had we introduced ourselves in the car did I lose all power going up a hill and the engine cut out. Luckily for me there was a layby at the top of the hill so I pulled into that and called a tow truck, and felt really sorry for the hitchhiker who’d been waiting 2 hours to be picked up!! However the people of New Zealand are amazing and he was picked up shortly after by someone who was checking to see if I needed any assistance. RIP to the gas guzzling, misfiring, creaky old beast xxx
