If I had a $1.00 for every time Kate asked us, "Are we there yet?" during this extended trip - ON, South East Asia, and NZ - I would be a really rich woman... the time has come for THAT blog.. what goes on during the hours and hours we have spent in the car.. the LC, Loser Cruiser.
On a travel day, which is typically every other day and more recently, every day, we travel 4-6 hours in the car. Kate climbs in the back and announces... 'good night!' It is true, she spends most of the time sleeping - to avoid being car sick, to deal with the boredom, because she is warm... who knows. She sleeps! Which of course means when we arrive at our destination of choice, she is awake - very awake - often until midnight awake! Mira passes the time talking, daydreaming or counting bridges. I bet you didn't know that between Franz Josef and Queenstown, there are 97 bridges. I estimated 93, Paul 100 and Mira estimated 80, Kate guessed 150.. I was so close, the last bridge being just before our campground. I suggested we walk the last bit to avoid the bridge but I was vetoed. So Paul won... I was not pleased. No I am not competitive.
Paul as driver.
Mira being silly.
Sometimes... the best thing comes along. This Flying Fox in Gore, just happened to be by the highway and so we just had to stop. Look how awake Kate is now.
Paul relaxing with a nice glass of vino after a long drive with his family... anyone around? hope not!
The road trip continues. Cheers mates. sharon
