Today should be the most difficult part to join the top. I will pass through every bay but between each of them there is hills. I hope the weather will be kind with me because the wind seams still there…
Papa Aroha > Port Jackson (53km, 4h)
Category: Bicycle Touring
Thames > Papa Aroha (73km, 5h)
Today my plan is to reach Papa Aroha where I will stay 2 nights. It’s a little village with nothing special there but the camp is less expensive :-).
Thames, visit of the city > Kauaeranga Valley (15km, 1h20)
This city looks good, there is many colonial buildings as houses, restaurants and hotels. The main road, Pollen street, pass through all along the city. All the shops are there so it’s really hard to be lost.
Kawakawa bay > Thames (79km, 5h)
Thames used to be a gold exploitation city. Colons have extracted something like 4000 tonnes of gold. There is many historical building and certainly some good pictures to take :-D.
Kawakawa bay > bicycle shop (by car) > Kawakawa bay (35km, 2h)
Aaah at least, the weather today should be good but I still have a problem. My chain is dead and I’ve no idea where is the next shop…
Auckland > Kawakawa bay (55km, 3h)
Step, Cap Reinga > Auckland (531km, 8 days)
