Not a whole lot to say about these few days as it was straight up highway 1 head down though I had a strong tail wind though kind of wet for the first couple of days which makes it kind of satisfying even if you do have milk tanklers screaming past showering you with spray. Saw a few Alpacas in the fields. They are a kind of a sheepy lama thing originally from South America much prized for their soft wool which are relatively common here now.
Crossed Aoteroa`s longet road bridge which is about 4 or 5k long and a bit unnerving on a bike though the traffic was pretty patient. Stopped first at Rakaia tea rooms for courage and had a fyne toastie which I would say rivals the Hari Hari toastie. Spring onions in place of normal onions, a trick Hari Hari has also been known to employ. I live on the edge huh?
Found a nice camping spot by the sea when I finally left Highway 1 just at the end of a side road and then on to the Banks Peninsula which was really nice.
