2.08 Drive over the Rimataka Hill

Drove over the Rimutaka Hill (Wellington to Featherston) the week after the hollandaise spill (you can imagine the jokes!). The weather wasn't the greatest so I didn't get to see much of the view. It wasn't windy but it was winding. Must do it again so I can check out the shops.
