Another road trip today to the Art Deco city of Napier.
Took us just over two hours hard driving, lots of twisty roads & up & down hills....was not good driving with our little under powered rental car....we made it in the end. Quite fast drivers in NZ you have to keep moving or you hold everyone up!
We liked Napier very much...very impressive buildings & the turquoise South Pacific ocean shoreline.
We had a delicious warm peach tart with ice cream.
A beautiful city street. My sister rented a car one time for a road trip we took that sounds just like your car. We still talk and laugh about that car limping up a mountain at Lake Tahoe. It’s funny now. Ha.
@louannwarren My faultLou Ann, it was one of the things I did on my own when booking all this stuff... should have gone for the bigger option as we are used to more four wheel drive types. I thought we would just use it for popping down the country between one son & the other but have gone much further this time. It’s very nippy but this one hasn’t got enough power for our liking!
@maggiemae It’s just too small Maggie...soon gives up the ghost going up hills....not to worry we have it’s mettle now, just change gear a lot. Think we are fairly restricted in type of car we have as we always want manual.
