We had a little hiatus in our travels - we were in Napier when we got a phone call from the tenant of our rental in Steere Place. A woman 'off her medication' had driven her car into a power pole, smashed down a school fence and driven around the field then down the cul-de-sac and into the gates of our rental. She then reversed back into the car of a person following her who was trying to stop her. Then she went forward flat stick into the side of the house. The room has been knocked sideways and the concrete foundations smashed. Inside furniture was knocked down narrowly missing the small child. Sam, our tenant, jumped out the window and smashed the car window to turn off the car ignition as the driver had locked the car doors and taken off her clothes (robe)and was now naked. You couldn't make this up!! She had to be sedated before she could be taken out of the car where it was found she had a toothbrush up her bum. We couldn't believe it - the house is quite a way back from the road - the driver tried really hard!! Anyway - we had to drive up to Whangarei to sort out the insurance etc and have been able to catch up with a few people. We plan to head south again tomorrow and resume our travels
