Can anyone reccomend a good website that can tell me exactly how to get from Whakatane to Wiakato Hospital, Hamilton? I am absolutely hopeless with directions, and havent driven out of town with Isla before, so am getting scared! Thanks

Try either http://www.smaps.co.nz - Smaps or http://www.wises.co.nz - Wises ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

Do you have a Hamilton map? It would probably pay to take one with you. (I presume you can follow a road map? - please say yes!) If you will be travelling over the weekend it may be hard to get hold of one though, depending on what shops are open etc. If you're really stuck you might need to zoom the zoomin map to the right size and print it out (a few pages worth) 
When are you travelling down? ------------- |

| Going on Mon morning. We are going into town soon so I might see if I can get a map! I can follow one,..but just get stressed going unfamiliar places alone, especially since I havent driven anywhere for so long, and never with Isla! Eekk! I managed to work out that map on Zoomin thanks! Thanks too Jax! |

Yellow Pages maps give you directions and the approx times of getting to a place.
