Today, the team is ready to go to lake Pukaki. It’s bigger than the previous one and David told us that somebody told him that it’s much more beautiful. OK OK, we will see :-)
Lake Tekapo > Lake Pukaki (72km, 5h)
Category: Canterbury
Lake Tekapo, day off
This place is nice and we decided to have a day off together. We slept in that forest next to the river and it was nice.
Fairlie > Lake Tekapo (50km, 3h)
Josiane is on her way to Wanaka. We splitted few days ago but today I met 3 new cyclists, all French! Looks like only French speaking people enjoy traveling this way. But anyway it’s nice :-)
Mayfield > Fairlie (78km, 4h15)
Hey, today is still sunny and I know that the road should be hilly, in particular before Fairlie. But before I will pass in Geraldine and a book about new Zealand said it’s the most beautiful town in south island. Hmm I never heard about it… I will see :-)
Hororata > Mayfield (61km, 3h10)
I had the most quiet night ever! Absolutely no noise, just the birds at the morning and then I woke up almost at 9am. Normally it’s 7am but I was tired yesterday. Today I’m going around Geraldine. It’s far but after the gorges, it’s going downhill so it will be easier.
Christchurch to Hororata (81km, 4h30)
Okay today the weather is grey and it shouldn’t rain too much. I don’t want to pay anymore and my blog is fully updated, all is good :-) but before I leave I have to take one more picture of these cats, so cute :-)
Christchurch, bloggy day
Today I’m doing nothing. I’m just uploading my picture and update my website before I’m getting really really late. I found some free flour in the kitchen and I made noodles (thank you Wenshan :-) I have three meals for a cheap price, nice! :-)
