Car wreck!

This morning started off well, if a little overcast.

The kiwis went into town for a little shopping – mainly larger bag to accomodate belongings.

Every shop has a plethora of Christmas bunting!

Big stuff, musical stuff (ok so you can’t hear it) and sparkly stuff.

Peppa pig Christmas style and every other ‘Thing’ you can imagine.

Sooo….leaving Walmart, this is where the day deteriorated! (And not talking about the weather)

Reversing out of the car park in the Toyota Corolla (not so small car), almost out…and BANG – a truck reversed out of the opposite side (and a little back) and hit me.

The usual reactions from the kiwis, and hunting for a pen and paper (to get details) we realised our co-crasher was a Mexican lady who didn’t speak English!

A witness translated, and off we went, again, to the rental car agency to report the crash!

Luckily we had taken the damage waiver insurance, however it seemed it was our responsibility to call our insurance company? Duh! It’s their insurance company! Oh well they have our phone numbers if they need to call. I will cancel my credit card when I get home, so they cannot charge me any more!

They seem to want us to say who was at fault – both cars backing and not seeing each other, I question the logic!

Russ is a little tired, needs a lie down after all the excitement and I think I need a beer (yes I was driving).

We say, it’s ok, no one was hurt!
