Why?

A blog for friends and relations to follow our travels in New Zealand....at least when we have time to post!

Wheels...

Today we picked up our hire car...with Californian plates for some reason. Always a fraught experience...so many pitfalls and irritating extra charges.
Anyway we drove away, with only a slight detour when we took a wrong exit from the Boston tunnel and ended up in a concrete road section with all exits saying buses only ...it looked like a scene from a dystopian film after the apocalypse...fortunately we found a way to turn around and rejoin the highway. We drove through some lovely wooded hills and valleys, beautiful blue skies and very hot. We found a lovely lunch spot at Shelburne Falls, and a short stroll across the Flower Bridge...a converted old tram way (turned into a flowery walkway 100 years ago. Drove on to our Motel at Lennox for 2 nights..amid much grumbling about the frequency of speed limit changes from Shiny. A swim in the Motel was good, though our meal ended up being a microwaved one cooked in our rooms.
