Bucketing down

It was really raining hard when we awoke. The forecast said that it was in until Sunday! We went down for breakfast then retreated back to the room to sort out suitcases etc. Later I went through my photographs to try and prune them down a little. I had taken nearly 10,000 photographs whilst abroad.  Most were rubbish.

Sue went out shopping. I went to the Internet cafe and later we went to eat out. Simon called us while we were having a curry. He is fine and looking forward to his leave.

We haave had an enormous amount of rain here in Auckland. In Wangerai which is less that 200 miles North, they had  over 50 mm of rain today. The city is flooded, roads are flooded. The worst in years. The rain is widespread and is all over NZ. I am glad we gave up the campavan.

Having said that when I got back to the hotel room the ceiling was leaking and there were 3 plastic dishes collecting the rain. They wanted to move us to a pokier room than we were in. No thanks. Later the ceiling stopped letting in rain. Great.

 

Better days in the campavan.
