Shiny Happy People
This sums us up well. We are happy because it was another beautiful, easy, sunny day and because we are now just one day from the bottom. We are shiny because the Route 6 hotel in Lumsden has baths (the first we have encountered) and I have had a long soak with bubbles and feel clean for the first time since leaving home.
We are more or less onto the southern plain now and there are no more hills to worry about. I had remembered the scenery as dull but it is lovely, just less dramatic than we have become used to.
Ebony and Ivory
Please excuse the photo of my naked limbs, just thought you would like an example of the ridiculous tan that is the mark of a cyclist. I wasn't wearing any pants so be thankful I have a steady camera hand!
When Tomorrow Comes
We have a busy day tomorrow. We must first ride 60 miles to Invercargill and scrounge 2 bike boxes then get these to the motel where we will stay the following night. Then we must ride another 20 to Bluff and get a photo under the proper sign, then on to the ferry port for the one hour crossing to Stewart Island. Apparently this crossing can be even rougher than Wellington to Picton. Bugger.
