Further South

This morning I rode across the wet Whangamoa and Rai saddles through to Havelock and finally Blenheim to meet Brian off his ferry.
From Blenheim we carried on South in very hot and windy conditions to Kaikoura where we stopped for lunch. Then were back amongst it (it being pretty heavy traffic) battling our way over the Hunderlies to Cheviot where we stopped for gas.
Our last hop was once again in very hot and windy and we eventually got into Christchurch around 4:30. Now we've caught up with Chris and his missus and are looking forward to popping out somewhere for tea.
And that's about as much as I can bothered typing on this little keyboard again...
