Long way Home from Office

31 October 2013, Thursday

Travelling from Porirua office going home to Upper Hutt along State Highway 58, and the traffic were diverted through the Moonshine Hill road because of accident. It was my first time to drive along Moonshine Hill road and I was leading the pack of other vehicles, and I almost missed the right road on the first intersection. The road is narrow and winding.

At around 5:30PM the traffic flow stopped.

While on stop, I tried to find out if there is cellphone signal on the area. "No cellphone signal".

I finally got home around 6:45PM.
