Passing through

We passed through Ashburton in 12 degrees. A couple of hours earlier it was 28 degrees. I had my first (and last) Burger King burger. A regular for my mates but it won't be for me.

It was dark and cool when we reached Benmore Views, not the sort of conditions to pitch a tent. I had the option to negotiate a bench, sink and other obstacles to reach a bed in my mates camper van, but opted to sleep outside. The awning had no sides but with a light breeze and only light drizzle, it wasn't an issue.

I slept well.
