Simply cycling around
Today it’s the last day before the rain come again… I will be lazy tomorrow so I’m going to bluff hill lookout, the big hill next to Napier. My NZ book says there is a great view from there. I want to see that :-)
Today I’m going to go onto a lookout point : The Mata peak. It’s a bit far from Napier but there so many cycling way around so I shouldn’t have to go by the main road. I will start by the beach :-)
Today I’m going to visit the city, not in detail, but a tour here and there to discover the atmosphere. The weather is perfect and I hope it will stay like this!

One of the best!
Today I should arrive to Napier where I will stay view days and at least take a shower haha :-) There is different things to visit here and if I’m lucky I could work as well :-) Here we go! There is vineyards everywhere around Napier. French catholics missioners have planted the first vineyards in 1851 and import Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Cabernet, Merlot and others. Hawke’s bay is the region for Nicolas Gregoire :-)
Today is one of the most difficult day. It’s cold, rainy, hill and long and long. There nothing special here. Only nature, roads, fields. Nothing to visit so I don’t want to spend so much time. At the beginning I wanted to take 4 days to join Napier but 3 could be possible if I push myself. I’ve rode 20 km onto the flat and this hill separates me to Waiora, the next town. I know already because the guy from the shop where I stopped yesterday told me everything about the road.
Today, I take one day to visit Gisborne. The weather is nice and warm. It a good occasion for a visit… by bike sure, always :-) Tonight we will have a party on the beach with everybody. Guy Fawkes Night is an old English event celebrated each year on the evening of November 5th with bonfires, fireworks and family gatherings.
