What highway is that? Asking for a friend.
Bra Fence, Cardrona Valley
No one really knows the full story, but legend has it that a group of women partying at the Cardrona Hotel on New Year's Eve 1998 decided to take off their bras and hang them on the fence for safe-keeping. More bras started appearing until the fence resembled something out of the women's liberation movement. After numerous attempts to dismantle it, the fence has now been shifted and rebranded "Bradrona" to raise money for the Breast Cancer Foundation.

My friend says thanks.State Highway One runs the length of the South Island and North Island of New Zealand. A small section of its 2 ,033 km 1,263 mile length is the Presidential HigHway, a nominal marathon section from Gore to Clinton, from the Rounadbout at Route Station 858 to the railway line X-ing at RS 817. The Bra pictuture is elseware in the South Island, added for dramatic effect.

Incidently, sometime after World War II, with the overun from the post 1945 rebuild, the USA formally offered to build a proper stem to stern four lane divided highway for New Zealand, at a reduced rate, with Army personel to help, but the Government said 'Nyet".
When President Clinton came to visit, it was renamed the Persidential Highway, and some funny bu99er decided to put a supplementry placard under it, reading "Lewinsky Aveneue, SH93 via Matuara Alternate Route". It was quickly removed out of respect to, um, both parties.....
Shameless pluggs are over. Back to your embedded advertorial
Yeah Mike, I dig the problem. I proposed to my wife on Valentine's day. Every guy in town is trying to be romantic to their significant other that night. Gets expensive trying to stand out!We couldn't get a table anywhere. Serves me right for deciding to get married on NY's eve. For weeks in advance I tried to find a place but between the hours of 5pm, and 9 pm all of the places we wanted to go were booked. The one place that wasn't was charging 75.00 ea. for a set menu. That wasn't including drinks....that woulda made this a 300.00 dinner after the tip.
I gotta problem paying 300.00 for dinner.
We stayed home. She cooked two filets, and a pound of king crab legs. We had a really nice dinner, and it only cost 85.00.
