Today, this time I found the rail trail toward Christchurch. I’m gonna to come back in the same backpacker to get the WiFi and upload my pictures. I will come back to the cycle shop as well.
Motukarara > Christchurch (42km, 2h30)
Category: Bicycle Touring
Akaroa > Motukarara (55km, 3h30)
Hey, that was my place for the night :-) under the tree with a black tent at night, all was OK, I slept well. Today I’m coming back to Motukarara in the nice flat campsite.
Motukarara > Akaroa (67km, 4h30 to 622m)
Today is still sunny and It’s a pleasure. Careful, there is many pictures because every places were wonderful so it was difficult to limit the picture’s number. Now, I have more work to do :-)
Christchurch > Motukarara (38km, 2h)
Today I’m going halfway between Christchurch and Akaroa. So, I start with some pictures of the destroyed city but not too much because I feel guilty. There is a large contrast between the old collapsed buildings and the new ones. All the city is on work and the city centre is totally close.
Step, Wellington > Christchurch (447km, 9 days)

This was the most rainy and cold trip until now.
Balcairn > Christchurch (39km, 1h45)
Today starts very bad. Since 6am maybe it’s raining and it doesn’t seems to stopped… We are stuck in our tent because almost all our clothes are wet. We don’t have water and just some food for the day.
Hanmer Springs > Balcairn (94km, 6h)
Today is a bit better than yesterday. We had a quiet night even if I didn’t sleep so well because I was aware about any strange noise. And we were three tents so it was easy to see us. But nothing happened and we are now in the city centre again to find a place to eat.
