Travel to the Tron

We left home early this morning (following an expensive trip to Beaurepaires) and headed north on SH 1. Mercina drove from Foxton to Marton. She did very well and drove quite smoothly. I'm not sure if the long line of cars behind us was quite as impressed. We stopped in Taihape for lunch and then continued on, arriving in Hamilton at 4pm. We are staying at The Distinction which has been renovated since we last stayed here and is now quite a flash place (see photo).

We made our way to a large mall called The Base - Te Ara where we walked around and stretched our legs (and the credit card!). Dinner was at the hotel and now we are resting before ordering room service for dessert.Read more
