7th-Apr-2009 09:53 am - Vewwy quick update
motor in wadi
We left Christchurch around 12, in lovely summery weather and actually riding at the proper side of the road. The bikes were purring along like happy cats and felt so light you could write your name on the road with them.
First came a bit of flat land*) which was great for getting used to things, and a wonderful roadhouse with a talking cat.
After that the mountains that were looming in the distance gradually crept in on us.
We've been riding through the mountains to Arthur's Pass and it was all kinds of wonderful!

Then, when it started to rain, we found, in this order:
- a place to have tea and a sandwich
- petrol
- reliable weather advice, telling us the rain would not stop today
- a honesty box operated bunk house with internet and hot bath!!!!!
(Which is where we are now, being the only guests.)

This last concept will keep me grinning all the way back to Christchurch.

*) Note to self: don't forget about the ever-changing smells from the different trees. Eucalyptus and the Other Ones.
