Warkworth and hitchhiking

10/8/2015

Arrived in Warkworth hot and tired but very happy with the day, every day is a new town and new people and we never know who we are going to meet or where we will end up, I love this way of travelling, we also get to walk and discover tracks and trails that only the local use, after Warkworth we stop at Wenderholm Camping ground, while lazing in the sun Raechell made a passing comment and said , "did you grab the insulin out of the fridge in Warkworth", my reply was "no!!"....so i had to hitch hike for the first time, I walked up to the higway and stuck out my thumb nervously...and my thumb worked, to my great surpise a very nice bloke called Peter pulled over and took me all the way to warkworth, I picked up the insulin and then Peter dropped me off just outside of town were I had a better chance of getting another ride...Thanks Peter great ride and good conversation.....Peter was right I got a lift within about 5 minuste from a guy named Daniel who was heading to Auckland....I got back to camp feeling like I had just tick off a bucket list item.....awesome.....  we then sneaked off to the Waiwera hot pools, man we were sleepy after that and had to walk back to the camp ground, one pool was 48 degrees nearly cooked me.

Bella's Blood sugers are stable, and the contiued walking gives her a really nice heathy glow to her face.....we have created a new basel pattern for the insulin pump and it seems to be working well, no hypos for a while now, which is good as she is getting sick of the lollies and chocolate,......never thought I would here that from Bella...actually she still loves chocolate its wishfull thinking from me that she is sick of chocolate.

Sandflies love Bella and Raechell, not me though hahahaha they just land on me and pass out from the smell.....

Bella just reminded me to mention Nigel, our favourite duck he was great company, even when he was trying to get into tent or steal my pack...which was about 100 times bigger then he was.
