On the run up to leaving Roxburgh there were lots of maturity hurdles to overcome. The cryptic meaning of which shall remain a puzzle I'm afraid. Safe to say there was a touch of romance in Roxburgh. S'all you're getting. Jens and Benjamin went to explore the Catlins for my last week of work and most of my days were spent working, cooking and venturing off to random places in the area. It was lovely weather all week!

Then full of excitement and anticipation we packed up Django's Triumph 2000 (which he kindly lent us) and hit the road for our travels. Stopping off at Fairview Orchard store on the way for a quick coffee break and to grab some fruit! Anyway, we got an hour and a half up the road, halfway between Wanaka and Omarama aannnnnnnd broke down. Heart breaking. We ended up hitch hiking to Omarama to find a garage but arriving in the evening spent a night drinking Blackberry wine and playing poker in a campsite.

After long periods of waiting around, fetching the car and discussions with a couple of mechanics it became apparent that we weren't fixing this car for a reasonable price. So instead Benjamin got a bus to Queenstown whilst Jens and I hitch hiked with a random French traveller to Lake Tekapo. Stayed there a night, got a nice takeaway and had a good nights sleep!
