Last night I met Freddie from Canmore….nice but so strong and fast that we won’t be cycling together. I also met two couples from Scotland and Annabelle from London yesterday. One of the guys is riding the tandem on his own, while pulling a trailer! His wife isn’t comfortable on the gravel, so has purchased an e-bike to finish the tour. We cycled together today, and are in the same place tonight….tenting in the backyard of the tavern. Very nice company.
Today was another great day….just 11km of gravel which helped to make it a great day! Lots of great views, and the hills were manageable 😀. Love seeing the yards with all the flowers. The topography remains quite hilly, and looks of sheep grazing here, very few cattle, while farther north it was the opposite. A warm sunny day….and just awesome 😎
Tomorrow will be slightly longer day….longer as I’m going to try to stay on pavement the entire day instead of a long day on gravel. I think all the others are going to do the same. Edging closer and closer to Wellington every day!!!! I’m thinking 5 days before I’m on the ferry to the South Island.
I have made so many friends, and we catch up every few days. Except for Elizabeth….we check in daily. She is only one day behind me….so strong, she cycled the three days that I skipped on the bus and I’d only one day behind. Amazing. The people of New Zealand really are the best, and it’s the people that make the country.❤️❤️❤️ I can’t wait to see what’s in store for me up ahead!!!
