BREATHE EASY

Driving the Toyota Camry Hybrid to one of the most spectacular forests in the country, and a luxury resort nestled in its depths
BREATHE EASY

WE WERE GLIDING ALONG THROUGH THE narrow, winding roads of these hills rather silently. It was early in the afternoon and the sun was beating down on us hard — a constant reminder that winter was well and truly behind us. The days were getting longer, the sun was getting hotter and the sweater I had optimistically carried with me stayed firmly tucked in my bag. I never leave home for a long drive without my polarised glares either and they were serving me rather well until… wham… darkness. The automatic headlamps of the Toyota Camry Hybrid threw themselves at the road ahead, the cabin lights dimmed and I took off my glares with the most incredulous look on my face. No, I hadn’t entered a tunnel, but I might as well have. The canopy of trees over my head was so thick, it blocked so much of the light out from the forest floor, that this car assumed it was night-time!
