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 > around Wanaka (62km, 4h25)
Category: South Island
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 :-)
Aparima river bridge > Kingston (83km, 4h30)
My first night under a bridge was good. I’m ready to ride again :-) I’m gonna reach Kingston today which is front of the Wakatipu lake as Queenstown.
Riverton > Aparima river bridge (73km, 3h45)
Hey, the little family :-). Sally, Dene and Kaia their grandson. I had a really good time with you guys :-) Thank you for your kindness and everything. I could stay longer but the time is fast and I must head north now. Thank you very much!
Riverton > Invercargill (return) + visit around with Sally
Since yesterday, I’ve got a toothache getting stronger and stronger. I’m a bit worried and Sally propose me to go with her to Invercargill. She has to do some things and it’s a good opportunity for me. We took a rendez vous. I just have to find the place. Thank you Sally :-)
