September 13th and 14th A Weekend On The Road

I have managed to finally turn George to the dark side, ie a dark coloured car and it 'just happens' to be a Volkswagen - a VW Passat to be pedantic. We are now a VW family of two.  This was purchased from a dealership up in Auckland, so a road trip on Saturday was necessary to collect the vehicle.  Who would believe this scene was taken from a busy motorway?

Home with our new baby. Believe me, something is being done about that number plate. She is going baby!!

Then Sunday morning dawned. We had a new car, we have been house bound / work bound for a long time and it was time to blow out some cobwebs with a little help from our new friend. A road trip was called for!

Madam Minnie is comfortable and adapted well

Fitzgerald Glade - no matter how many times I drive this stretch of road, I am always in awe at the beauty of it

This well known cafe has a new owner, who has only been in residence for 10 weeks. Can thoroughly recommend the Bacon & Eggs or Eggs Benedict.

I see alive people

Swanning around Lake Rotorua

If you don't mind, I do look better from the right side. Can you use this photo instead?

Come Fly with me? Apologies but at this point in time we would prefer to drive
