Hohoo, we just start the morning by a rainbow :-) but it’s slightly raining in this moment. Hope we can move today because we don’t have so much food left.
Rainbow track hut > Hanmer springs (60km, 5h to 1411m)
Category: New Zealand
St Arnaud > Rainbow track hut (67km, 5h30, 1068m)
Today we are going on the Rainbow track. It’s a track of 120km which pass by the middle of south island toward Hammer Springs. We should do it in two days if the weather is nice with us. I’m just a bit worried about something… If it’s called “rainbow track” that means there is rain… Aïe…
Renwick > St Arnaud (68km, 5h30)
Today, the sun came back, finally! We are almost ready to go but before, a visit around the backpacker :-) The kitchen is nice, clean and useful. I made some bread yesterday so we will have something good to eat later.
Anakiwa > Renwick (48km, 2h20)
This night was good but so windy. I even have dreamed that the shelter was blower up by the wind. Now it’s raining and it’s difficult to find the motivation for going out, take the bikes and continue travelling…
Queen Charlotte track > Anakiwa (27km, 3h05)
Finally, we won’t go at the end of the track. At first, we took the road the change and enjoy another scenery. Then we came back by the same path as yesterday toward Anakiwa.
Anakiwa > Queen Charlotte track (23,5km, 2h08)
Today, we planed to ride on Queen Charlotte track. It’s a walkway track available for mountain bikers but the last part is actually close for us because of the high tourist season. It’s one of the beautiful track in New Zealand and it’s 4 days by walk for one way and 2 or 3 days by bike with the way back.
Wellington > Picton (by ferry) > Anakiwa (21km, 1h24)
Hey, it’s 7am and I’ve just arrived to the blue bridge ferry company. Today I’m going to south island where I’m gonna spend at least 5 months.
