Don't Push Buttons if you don't know what they are.......Jo

Okay, so on my trip, I decided to use the cruise control. Fine. And then I noticed a little button nearby which I wondered what it was for. I turn off onto one of the English back roads on my way to a castle and suddenly I can only go 20 mph. I'm pushing the accelerator down as hard and fast as it will go all the while cars are honking and passing me, clearly annoyed.

Oh my god, I thought, maybe the transmission is going out. What to do? No where to turn off the road....and I'm thinking....May Day, May Day. Finally I stop and check everything out, get back on the road and now I can go 40 mph. Great. I'm just starting my trip and now I'll probably have to be towed back to who knows where. So managed to creep into the town with the castle. Called Hertz and they said call AA, which is like our AAA. So I do and the guy arrives in 20 minutes, scans everything and determines that I had the pushed the "limiter" button which if on, the car will not accelerate past this point. Relief and sheepishness hit all at the same time. And then about 2 hours later, I am back wandering around a castle priory. Another one of those Jo stories.


So these are just photos of coastal towns along my way. Wells Next to Sea above and Cromer, both fishing towns. I just loved the lighting on the hotel in this photo.


2 more castles, extremely opposing, waring families in medieval times. Tough life for all, don't think I would have liked being around in those days.
