Second update....
So as I sit and write this update it is poring down with rain and I am sitting in a hotel room, mum is in the room next door (hopefully sleeping and with no smoke coming out her ears) after the daily update below, mum and I settled in for a few games of take two, another lady who stood close by was dragged and in and we taught her how to play. This was very nice.
Again the nightly briefing dragged on and on and on..... We skipped sweets as it was only fruit salad and ice cream and it far too cold for ice cream!
We walked back to to toilet truck and brushed teeth and headed for bed. While the drizzle of rain continued.
Settled in (not quite) mum as she is getting into bed steps in a puddle of water!
Upon further inspection there is a small river (OK that might be a bit over the top) but there is a lot of water in our (deluxe) tent!
Mum cracks it... Walks back up to dinner hall and brings back with her the event manager. "Yes he can understand our frustration" um no sorry I don't think you do.... After my spat the other night and tonight we have totally lost it at this guy!
He said "hold tight ill make a few phone calls and ill be back" while he is away old mate from the tent truck comes to have a look and wants to know where it's leaking in hope he might be able to fix it tonight. Both mum and I are like... "We are not sleeping in this tent, you need to sort something else out!"
The event manager comes back with a car, by this time mum and I are fully packed ready to go.
Bags are loaded into the car and we are off.
While driving the event manager tries to make nice again and can understand our frustration. I'm again about to loose my top. He is arranging 'hard top' accommodation for us 'where he can' for the rest of the trip.
We had already said that we would not be back to do a Bike SA ride and in all good conscience neither mum or I would recommend a trip with them.
Let see what tomorrow brings shall we.
