dual driving trucks :O

these are very funny!!

so to get to auckland i managed to get an lift in an recycling truck. but of course it wasnt just an normal truck as the title has let on.

i climbed in and told that not to touch the steering wheel or pedals. as we pulled out i then saw that the wheel infront of me was moving! it was weird to be being driven along in the driving seat. all the two hour journey up to auckland i was watching this wheel move infront of me. also the space was less as it was confined like a normal driving seat and not as spacious as an passenger seat. before i was actually dropped off we swapped trucks to another rubbish/recycling truck which needed dual control; this one had more space!

dropped off i then had an hour wait for Liz to pick me up as she had to drop off ruth to gym. so chilling out on this small patch of grass in the middle of an huge indrustrial estate with lots of concrete. all went to plan and arrived at the house to catch up with bascially my second family!!!
