Resting Up! Kaikoura

Household chores day today! 
Did our washing which we hung on Del's improvised washing line.
After our usual breakfast (Weetbix), we crossed the road to the beach and wandered into town. It's a wild, grey-pebbled beach with coarse, black/grey iron sand at the water's edge - not for swimming! Nothing between us and South America!
We spent a while on a bench, looking out to sea like Darby and Joan,  agreeing with each other how lucky we were to be there.
Eventually arrived at Kaikoura's single main street - no supermarket or vegetable shop, just restaurants, cafes and souvenirs. New World was some way away so it's chicken and vegetable wraps for lunch. 
The local delicacy, of course, is koura (crayfish) but, as we're not partial to most seafood, it's fish and chips for tea tonight!
Walked back to camp along the main road
and couldn't resist a shot of the hills we'll probably be tackling tomorrow! Ouch!

    Looks like you are going well and having great weather. Love the photos, almost like being there ourselves. Xxx

    Agree about main drag in Kaikoura, but a beautiful spot all the same. Good luck with the hills!

    Space! Grab some land and build - not as simple as that, but the views are amazing, and it is clean, has a designed feel to it, and so close to the sound and the mountains. Google Earth working overtime this end

Being Realistic! Resting in Invercargill

Image
11 years ago, at age 70, Del did his very first bike tour, Cape Reinga to Bluff.  Having just completed the South Island section with him, I now have the deepest respect for him and his amazing, solo achievement. Del's memories of that trip had faded over the years, especially the uncomfortable ones - like endless hill climbs! Unable to cycle overseas last year, we planned to cycle around the South Island on our electric bikes.  When we found that it was impossible to fly them by Air NZ, we decided, as we've done so many times before on our trips to Australia, to take our push bikes and trailers! We both love the thrill of cycling, at a good speed, when pedaling is almost effortless. On only 2 days out of the 24 days we've been away, have we experienced this thrill. The remaining 22 days have been physically demanding and very tiring.  Cycling in heavy traffic, handling the bikes and trailers over rough or non- existent road shoulders, negotiating river bridge...

Cycleway South! Dunedin to Milton - 55kms

Image
Set off at 7.00am as usual and began the cyclist's alternative route south, out of the city, with extra help from Google Maps. The route took us first through quiet, flat suburban streets.  Then it rose steeply as it took us over the hills and out of the city. More walking!  By 9.00am we'd only covered 8kms!  At 15kms the route returned us to the highway - and the traffic. We were now on the relatively flat terrain of the Taieri Plain. The traffic was dominated by heavy trucks - namely logging and stock trucks- and needed our full focus on cycling in a straight line on the road shoulder. We crossed the Taieri River Bridge and cycled with the river on our left and the railway line on our right for several kms. The road was undulating and, with a developing head wind, we quickly tired and began to take regular breaks. We passed Waihola Lake and stopped at The Black Swan Cafe to refuel and re-energise. Back on the road, we had ...

A Weighty Decision! Milton to Balclutha - 26kms

Image
To date progress has been pretty slow - too much walking due to the hilly terrain and our weighty trailers.  We needed to do something to make the journey easier. We couldn't change the hills - but we could reduce our load - again!  We resolved to courier/freight the heaviest item, the tent, and any other item not used regularly, as soon as we arrived in Balclutha. With 26 kms to cover, we left Milton a little later than usual, at 8.00am. The road undulated through lush farmland - obviously serious sheep country. The undulations were enough though to get us off our bikes. We must have dismounted and walked around 15 times! That settled it! The tent and accessories had to go! Tall rectangular hedges, typical of the area, are often found stretching across hectares of farmland as windbreaks. We checked out the Old Sod Cottage on the way. I think that the old sod must have lived a pretty miserable life in this dark and dingy little home. ...
