Introduction

As a wearer in the Masterworks Broach of the Month Club 2010, Jo Mears and partner/BOM maker Sharon felt obliged to take Ross Malcolm's brooch 'In the Pink' on tour with them as they set out on a three week adventure with sixty other kombis around the South Island of New Zealand to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Volkswagen Type II in New Zealand.

'In the Pink' hits the road in a purple and white volkswagen kombi

Day One: 29 March - Waimauku to Morrinsville via respective workplaces at Wallace Arts Trust and Manukau School of Visual Arts.

Day Two: 30 March - a few quick meetings in Morrinsville and a pillow purchase from Sharon's mum then we hit the road to Taupo.  Saw our first fellow kombi, a 1972 transitional bay window (early bay front, late bay rear), at the Taupo Museum carpark.  Sharon dropped off some blobs for the Magpie exhibition. Saw some nice ducks. Drove as far as Paekakariki.

                                                                       Pink in Taupo
Pink in the Desert
Pink and the Volcano
                                                        Pink attracted all the flies
Pit stop to remove the flies

Having spent the first 34 years of her life with one old lady and no car radio, busbus is quite impressed by all the technology her two lady companions have plugged into her: a satellite navigation gadget called Wanda, a laptop, digital camera, ipod nano, surround sound stereo system and three cell phones. 
Flash as she reckons!
On the road again
Pink spies a tower
