Simply cycling around
Today is coool, peace and quiet. I just take my time, clean my bike perfectly and take care about my stuff. I spent 130$ for my bike yesterday and I hope it’s enough even if I know that I will have to buy a 16″ tire soon. But now, coool :-)
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.
Today I have to repair and buy many things on my bike. Josiane went yesterday in a good bicycle shop so I followed her advise. I have to repair a spoke, a gear cable, a fork cable. I have to buy a inner tube for my trailer’s wheel, maybe a tire as well, a new tire for the bike because the other one was too big. I will give it to Josiane.
Today, nooothing! We need to get dry and use all the stuff around us : kitchen, toilets, showers, tea, shops… We deserve it after all that rain! This backpacker is nice and warm. It’s a house Napier and not a factory making money like Wellington. We are maybe 20 people here and it’s cool :-). This is the kitchen.

This was the most rainy and cold trip until now.
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.
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.
