Hello everyone!!! Ted is now here….so the final part of my holiday can begin!!! 😊😊😊
The plan was for Ted to arrive on the afternoon of April 12, and we would celebrate our 40th anniversary together….but a delayed flight in Vancouver meant a 12 hour delay in Brisbane, and Ted only arrived at 0230 on April 13….but it was still the 12th at home….so all was good. 😊
A few things to look after yesterday…storing our luggage after we repacked for the motorcycles. Then we went out for a nice Thai meal right by our place.
This morning we headed to the motorcycle rental to pick up the bikes. My bike is still really tall despite it being lowered with a lowered seat and soft suspension. I can put toes of both feet down at the same time, or one almost flat foot down, as long as the road is flat and there aren’t any holes or divots in the pavement. So far so good! We are here in Kaikoura safe and sound….only made one mistake turning right! Quickly corrected and we are good. No photos today….just too nervous on the bike.
The first 130 km were fairly wide roads through farmland. We saw lots of sheep and cattle today as well as some deer. Fairly straight roads for that distance which gave me some time to get used to the bike. Then a few curves for about 20km….unfortunately we were caught behind a semi only going about 25km hour through the really twisty hills. And the last 25km were winding roads right by the South Pacific Ocean….waves crashing onto huge black rocks. Stunning scenery, but no place to pull over to take photos….so you’ll all have to jump onto a plane and come here yourselves to see it!!!! 😊😊😊 They call it the money shot for a reason!!! 😂😂😂
The beach tonight
