🚙 Day 7 🚙 There is only one word to describe our 7th day…a disaster!! A disaster of epic proportions! It started early in the morning. While I was putting away the camp chairs, the leg of one of the chairs hit the laptop screen! It made a big scratch over the screen. I was devastated by what happened to the laptop. We can still use the screen, but the scratch is like a magnet for your eye! 😅 We has a nice breakfast in a little town and I thought the day was only going to improve. Boy…was I wrong. Driving in the rain on a gravel road, there was suddenly a big ditch in the road. We hit the ditch at a fair speed, so fast the the front suspension bottomed out. We hit so hard the three teeth that is left in my mouth rattled. I grabbed the dashboard with both hands and I was just glad the airbag did deploy and ruined my make-up! My husband immediately stopped and inspected the vehicle for damage in the rain🌧. But it had to be done. There was luckily no major damage…or so we thought!! Keep reading this exiting episode… We continued driving and eventually the rain stopped. The upside of the day was that we drove through some spectacular mountain scenery. It was really our of this world. Late in the afternoon, we had a beer at our destination in a hotel bar. Here we chatted for a while before going to our campsite. It is here, after the camp has been set up, that the next disaster came to light. Here we discovered the real damage done by the ditch! We have a drawer system in the truck. It slides out from under the bed, and here we pack most of our kitchen stuff and food. As I tried to open the drawer, it didn’t budge. It was solidly stuck. And the food for the night was there. I saw vision of going to bed hungry, tired and thirsty! Checking on what happened, we saw that salt pot got stuck between the lid and the bed. Using a long bar, we tried to get the salt pot unstuck. Struggling for half an hour, we eventually got the sliding drawer to open. We were elated. But…it opened only halfway and got stuck again 😡. Checking again we saw that the culprits this time was a plastic bowl and the Rum bottle. Pulling and prodding the got the door opened at last. The plastic bowl was destroyed in the process, but I’m happy to report we saved the Rum…that we promptly drank after this ordeal 🥃! It was dark, the day was over, the bed was made and I thought the disasters of the day was over. Then the biggest disaster of the day happened…I spilled my Rum!!! 😲
