Kids bush > somewhere (77km, 5h50)
Hey, after to have slept under a bridge, next to a railway, now I’m gonna test the shit! Nice isn’t it? I don’t know yet but today I’m going to met somebody I know :-) An artist! Crazy! But let’s start from the beginning…
Around Wanaka > kids bush (42km, 3h30)
I’ve got a nice day today, it’s just a bit too windy… But nice. I’ve quit Wanaka lake and I’m now cycling along the lake Hawea. There is many lakes in this area, I Like that :-) But since this morning I’ve got a strange noise on my bike. I changed my chain but too late. The old one is already too long and the new one doesn’t match with my used cassette and chainrings… So I put back the old chain and I will continue like this as far as possible. I will have to change everything soon maybe or in Auckland if I pay really attention. I will!
Lake Hayes > around Wanaka (62km, 4h25)
It’s 10am and I’m ready to go. There is two ways to go to Wanaka from here. One long and easy. Another one short and steep. I prefer the shortest one it’s more funny :-) let’s go!
Lake Hayes, day off
Lake Hayes! Yesterday I came around 6pm but I had my super light :-). It’s even nice to ride at night but not with heavy traffic. Today I’m just enjoying this peaceful place, playing guitar, reading, that’s cool.
Kingston > lake Hayes (52km, 3h15)
Today I’m coming back to the place I know already : lake Hayes. It was nice last time but to short so I decided to have one more day off there and enjoy.
Kingston, web 2.0 with Annette (768m, 2min)
This morning, I’m eating my breakfast at the same place as yesterday. It’s few metres away of the public toilets. Then, a woman came for cleaning it. OK, normal. Then, she saw me and politely say hello. “Good morning” :-) We discussed a bit and when I said I was web designer in Paris she said : “hey, maybe you could help me because I’m working on an it project with wiki and I don’t understand so much. She was saying that ironically but I answer “yes” why not, but no more than one day because I must travel also haha” Annette accepted and offered me one night and a meal against some wiki lessons. I have to learn that before because I just know few things about it :-)
