Interlude

So.. we had to wait for a call from Mark from the garage to see if Gramps was okay. We decided to spend our time in the library until he would call, so that we could answer some mails and write on the blog. Apparently, Auckland has 17 libraries (!) and we were walking distance from the Central City Library. Little did we know that using the internet at that library is somewhat similar to slowly walking barefoot on a pool of burning coals – ridiculously slow and agonizing. We literally only managed to click about 3 times per half an hour, and we walked away rather frustrated and unaccomplished. Travelers – do avoid the internet in that library. We learned later on that smaller towns yield MUCH better results.

After the adventure with Gramps in Piha, we realized we’d had no other choice than to bring the van to a garage. We got a name from Vinnie, the manager of our hostel, who sent us to Ashley’s Garage. We arrived at the garage in the morning and talked to Ashley who tried to apply a quick fix for the car, which unfortunately didn’t work out. Afterwards, he sent us to a specialized garage, since he figured it had something to do with the carburetor.

Gotta test drive Gramps!
We woke up in the morning, full of energy and good vibes for our first real drive around with Gramps. We decided to take it westward to the black sand beach called Piha.
