Adventures in low cost accommodation in NZ
This was a farm stay in Dunedin. The kids were in a converted garage, we were in another bit of the main house which was still being built - so it had chip board stairs and an unbuilt room above it, sort of taped off. To get there you had to duck under the washing line, through a garage full of junk and spiders and avoid half a dozen kittens, chooks and a goat. The washing line was in the garage itself.
The first night, Dr B complained that the bed was musty on his side and it was setting off his asthma. So I suggested we changed sides - and realised that it wasn't so much musty as, let's say, covered in kitten pee. Still damp with it, actually. It was late, the owners were in bed, so we held our noses, turned the bedding around and did our best to ignore it. It was pretty cheap accommodation for 5, after all.
Next morning, we noticed the kittens climb a stack of bricks and play with the washing on the line.
The owners were terribly embarrassed and changed the doona for us, but the shine had been taken off.
Anyways, this was the scene out the back. Very pretty.
