Things we've left behind!

So far we've managed to lose the following:-

Christchurch - the Scrabble that Thelma put in the wardrobe.

Oamaru - bag of potatoes that Thelma put in the kitchen cupboard.

Cannibal Bay in the Catlins - each left one of their nine lives behind when all of a sudden there was a LOUD explosion that made their ears ring for at least 5 mins. After stopping the car to check what they thought was a huge rock that a milk tanker that was passing had somehow flicked at them they found absolutely nothing wrong with the car - and still don't have an explanation for the explosive noise! (Thelma has a sneaky suspicion it was Louise but being a lady she won't say why). PS We later found out it was most probably a tyre on the milk tanker that had exploded, apparently they go off like a gun, exactly what it sounded like! Louise did see the tanker pulling over in her rear vision mirror.

Glenorchy - Louise's Toilet Bag hanging on the back of the bathroom door!

Cardrona - three bottles of Louise's beer that fell out with the tray in the door of the fridge when she opened it!

On the way to Haast - some of Thelma's skin & blood when the wind blew the boot door down on her hand! Luckily it wasn't her head.

Westport - Louise's new earrings.

Murchison - two front tyres that gave up the ghost and scared the heck out of Thelma, Louise of course was cool as a cucumber!

Murchison - Thelma's Thursday pill box!

Picton to Welllington Ferry - one of Thelma's new earrings!
