Runners still arriving at 11.30pm they must have good head lights as the
road is pretty rough. A bigger truck than us with a blue flashy
lights came up, turned around and parked by us in the night with engine and flashing blue light still going. We assume
they had come up to work on the aerials. Runners and cyclists started
arriving from about 7.30. One lady had a chat with John.
We left and caught
up with the lady at the bottom of the hill. John jumped out to do the
hubs and the lady invited us to lunch so we said ok. We followed her
and her dog back to her house. Her mum had cooked lentil soup and
Monica had a neighbor go grab a bottle of vino tinto.
Anyway we put a load
of washing on and had a hot shower which was great as the heater is not
working at all now. and I didn’t cherish a cold shower. Monica rang
the couple of Webasto agents I had emailed yesterday. One doesn’t
do repairs and the other’s number didn’t exist anymore. She rang
some friends trying to find someone to help and informed us one would
visit tonight.
Some of Monica’s
friends arrived for dinner while I was on the phone to Retrolooms in
Aus (they had fixed our stove in Nov). These friends, Patricio and
girlfriend and her mother
(Maria ) spoke English. After dinner Patricio invited us back to stay on their property which has cabins. We followed him back.
