We had tons of wind and rain overnight that kept us all awake a lot as the branches were scraping over the top of Al. The bad weather finally stopped and allowed us to sleep well, and when we eventually woke up it was close to 10am!
Müfit spent the next hour or so on the phone to CoachNet. These are the people that we have a very pricey extended warranty through for the RV, and they have a technical helpline. Having been told that someone could come out to take a look, he was then told by a different person that fixing it where we were would not be possible so the best thing we could do was to disconnect the steps from the motor and then tie the steps up so that they were not down low and in risk of scraping the road. At least this meant that we could have them down when we wanted to and the dogs could therefore use them, albeit with us holding the steps so they don’t move.
In the meantime, Orhan picked up his daughter Allie from her mother’s house close by. Allie is at college and had returned home for the weekend. When Müfit had finally finished, we went with Orhan, Allie and Sarah to the local museum, a museum of agriculture that is inside a large hanger-like building and full of tractors and farming machinery dating back to the 1800’s. Unfortunately, the dogs were not allowed in, so we took it in turns to stay with them outside.
After the museum they took us to another of their favourite restaurants, a Mexican, where we had another lovely meal and were all suitably stuffed afterwards! The dogs were allowed here in the outdoor patio area, so it was nice to have the dogs with us.
The afternoon and evening were spent walking the dogs, and sitting and chatting. It was lots of fun, hearing Orhan and Sarah’s travel stories, and sharing some of our own!
