The space was clean and the bed comfortable. The area was quiet. The house number was obscured by vegetation, making it a little hard to find. . There was tea and coffee but no milk. All water had to be fetched from the bathroom. The sleepout I was renting was behind the owner’s house up a narrow climb on an uneven path with no lighting. Scary.
I explained to Rowan that I was in Wellington to visit a dying friend. I was with my friend all day and in the evening I would return home and message friends and family. On Monday the internet went off and Rowan did not respond to my text about this. It made communication with friends and family in other countries impossible. Nor was I able to check my flight details and
travel plans. Disappointing.
