Hot Tubs, Scams and Wrinkly Rams!

Leaving Omarama

I hope you appreciate the heading of this post, it's VERY relevant. After staying in Gore I made my way up to Omarama once again (dead end junction town) where Monique is now working at a cafe called "The Wrinkly Ram" stayed up there a few days in which time I slobbed about reading and began preparations to possibly making my first ever civil courts claim.

You may remember the Triumph 2000 car we were travelling in breaking down and us leaving it to be crushed in Omarama at a place called B.G. Auto's around 2 months ago. Upon coming through Omarama I discovered the car was STILL there. Upon speaking to the mechanic I discovered that instead of crushing it as he  had said, DESPITE assuring us there was no hope of selling it, he had found a buyer and was selling it himself. He does not own the vehicle, so after trying to reason with him myself I contacted the police who told me because we had left it with him to be "disposed of" it was a civil matter not a police matter. Depending on what the scrap yard says about the value of the car we may well be sueing the fella. Fun times.

Omarama Hot Tubs!

It wasn't all legal battles though, I got more or less anything I wanted from the cafe for free because I went in there and played piano, much to the delight of the owner it seemed! On top of that we went to some local hot pools at night which were amaaaaazing! Given the lack of artificial light the stars are incredible and you never catch cold because the water is so damn warm! Heated by a fire burning under the tub! Well it wasn't cold until our game of dares had us jumping into the freezing lake next to our tub... stupid double dares.
