Well that was an epic day! A 120 km introduction to New Zealand's hills - they go up, they go down, so we did too, into a steady headwind that never really left us. Except for a 5 km stretch to get us onto 90 Mile Beach - gorgeous! for a sweet 15 km ride over the hard-packed (thank goodness) sand. Beautiful finish to a challenging day. And all that riding happened after a 3 hour bus ride to the north end of New Zealand, to Cape Reinga, unloading the bikes, fussing about with our new jerseys and taking the "before" photo. Tomorrow I think we'll try for starting a tad earlier!
So about those microwaves...you can use your old one as a mailbox! We saw a couple of those today along with little house-shaped ones with corrugated steel roofs just like the big houses, and of course the kind that must come from whatever the New Zealand equivalent of Canadian Tire is.
....but now it is past time for bed....tomorrow is another ride!
