Day Three 2/01/19 Oamaru to Dunedin

Today While wondering and making notes of the things I might like to share, I guess it was a realization, I realized that the best parts and the funnies parts are funny in the moment and not after and well I always forget to share them.

Today started early again at 6.15 when dad shook the camper van as he climbed out of bed (nothing against him you can’t even roll over without moving the thing in fact I think my tying is making it wiggle) from that point I got up and showered in what I must say where very nice bathrooms, actually I’m sure you don’t need to know about the shower that I have everyday.

Lets take a slight intermission from the general proceedings for pondering with pap I want a teleportation device because I wanna go home so bad like even just to sleep there or to stim or to cry I don’t care I want to go home but if teleporters did exist then so many things wouldn’t like cars or campervans or flight and we would miss out on so much of the world if we could just teleport where we wanted to go.

Back on Schedule we started the day by going to visit the Moeraki boulders which were really cool being essentially perfect spheres created completely naturally as a side note to this that was 30 mins out of Oamaru so we drove to see the boulders and then back to Oamaru to see the steampunk museum which was really cool, inside everything was supposed to be touched and played with which like is completely my sorta thing and we went into a really cool room full of lights and the walls completely covered by mirrors and then we went into this “sensory experience” room which was like completely bs coming from and autistic point of view but whatever.

We then walked down the pier in the boiling hot and all were dying a little by the time we staggered back into the main street and into the Victorian Museum which was really cool again everything was like you could play with it even though it was all from the Victorian era we even got to have a go on some penny farthings (they were attached to a carousel and not going anywhere or tipping over).

We all wandered back to the camper van and drank A LOT of water as we were all very dehydrated from the heat and didn’t take any water with us like smart people and then we got on the road, mum let me ride in the front seat which really helped my anxiety coz my sister has a tendency to get car sick and I am phobic of vomit and as I don’t know these roads at all it makes me very anxious. I took a bunch of photos but I’m not very happy with any of them because the windscreen was really dirty but such as life.

We arrived in Dunedin, got a spot at a campsite again with free wifi J and wandered into town a little to go to the supermarket, I was struggling a decent amount, but this point and things just weren’t going well but I made it back and lay down using the wifi and calmed down a bit.

Apart from a very mediocre dinner that’s about what happened today I am not happy about being on holiday again today and I am struggling a lot with my thoughts I guess one might say I don’t really know I just want to be okay and enjoying this but I’m really struggling to do so, but as at home and real life we have goods days and bad says so just hanging out hoping tomorrow is a good day.
