A Bit of a Drive

After our workout with Bruce yesterday we thought we would have a drive to Cathedral Bay today and also go to Coramandel on the way.  Jim had already checked with Bruce (from our tramp yesterday) which road to travel on but then thought he would ask Jan his wife who suggested another more scenic route which Jim opted for.
All went well at first a quick visit to Coromandel which was ok but not as lovely as Thames and then back in the car to Cathedral Bay.  As Jan had mentioned the road was not as good as the others with a few lose chippings etc and already I don't really like it and then suddenly there are huge lumps off rock all over the road - I might as well be driving as my foot is nearly through the floor and Jim is  saying "calm down" I regain composure and grip the door as Jim decides the best option is to pull over where the work lorries are and turn around which is no mean feat in itself.  By now we have realised that the road is bad as the lorries are resurfacing it.
Poor Jim did so much driving today we didn't even make Cathedral Bay but had a nice lunch in Whitianga and Jim had a swim.
