Not all trips go to plan.

So I hoped that since Thursday that our week would get better however I should know better.
Bad things in our life happen in threes and it doesn't rain but pours with us.

So to tell you what happened i should probley start at the beginning.
so Friday, Saturday and Sunday went spent organise and packing for parachute but in between I worked and we went out to friends for dinner dinner (Thanks Eileen & Steve) and Otis took me to the Botanic Gardens to watch the light show and the Beatgirls.

I had such an awesome weekend and I really thought we were on the up after last week but as usual as soon as I think something like that life turns to custard.
So we left packing for Parachute till the last minute and when I mean last minute, I mean we were still pack at 12pm on Sunday night however we got it done in the end and also were able to get enough sleep at the same time.

So Monday morning we packed the car and Otis dropped me off at work at about 8.30am and then he went off to meet Bob and the others and start the trip to Parachute.
So everything was going well until I get this call at about 1.30pm. It was Otis telling me he had been in a car accident just outside of Taihape.
Thank God Otis nor the passengers were not hurt however the car didn't come out the same and was a little worse for wear.
So after spending large amounts of time of the phone with the insurance company we aranged to have the car taken back to Taihape to get assessed however due to Monday being a public holiday the car could not be assessed until Tuesday and if it deemed repairable the car will be towed to Wellington.

However we had one proble how do we get Otis, the gear and the passengers he had from Taihape to Hamilton.
Thanks to Bob and a large amount of driving (2 trips from Taihape to Hamilton) he was able to get to Hamilton with all the gear and the passengers he was bring up to Parachute the downer was that by the time they got in they were all rather tied as they didn't get in to Parachute till 2am the next day. (what a long trip.)

Hopefully from there we will be able to arrange with our insurance a rental car in Hamilton so we can get home from Parachute next week but we will just have to see when the assessment is done and I ring the insurance company tomorrow, so to be honest who knows what our week will bring.

Thanks for reading.
