Today is the day. The day I quit definitively south island to come back to the north. The weather is fantastic and I hope it will be still the same up there and a bit warmer because this morning… glaglagla!

Twizel, day off
Fairlie > Lake Tekapo (50km, 3h)
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.
Opononi > Dargaville (87km, 5h)
This morning for the first time, since the beginning of this trip, my tent is dry. Ouha very important news but everyday I pack my tent when it’s wet and it’s getting to smell moisture. I need to clean it :-). But anyway I eating my energy for the morning and Karl is already ready to go, it’s 8am. He is going to Dargaville today and I think I will do the same so we will meet in the next camp :-). Ok, I have now all the necessary energy to ride 87km and it’s 9pm so here we go! Today I will pass through Waipoua Forest, the highest point is around 400m, gloups.
