Rata in Blossom

Favorite thing: Otira Gorge has became more easier to travel.the old Road gone,a new Viaduct build,finish and opend last Autum. It is now a breeze driving through to the West Coast..thank god for that.

Fondest memory: but actually I will miss the old adventure drive..never knew how it would pan out around the bend..rocks fallen on the Road or right in front of the car.geh, never on the car, now that was lucky, Kiwis know what I am talking about!
