Day 34. Thursday 29 May 2003. Another Quiet Day

Vicky returns from Usk today.

We tried out the Nissen Mira on the dual carriageway , the A319 to Cirencester (and here) for the first time today. We had been out on the by roads previously in the vicinity of Cricklade getting used to the small car with manual gears and no power steering and small wheel lock and the steering column sticks on the "wrong" side. We went up to the supermarket only, not into the hurley burley of the Cirencester streets.

We went round the large roundabout twice to decide which road was which. It seemed there were signs everywhere, trying to read them and figure which was yours and watch the fast traffic was daunting. Driving is much different here to NZ and will take a bit of getting used to.
