It’s been a while since we’ve slept in the tent and it’s strange that it sometimes feels like home. It’s the place we’ve slept most, albeit in different places if that makes sense? But it’s our stuff....we were woken this morning by kids bouncing a ball and the rumble of V8 muscle cars starting up and driving to the hose pipe for a wash down. There’s a classic car show along the beach a bit later.
So, Hicks Bay.....well worth a drive to if you ever find yourself in this area and want space and quiet. We only stayed the one night and then headed to Gisborne. A cabin on a campsite, a cabin with en-suite again. It was tiny but the bikes could be parked outside and it had a comfortable bed.
Add a powerful shower to a shower curtain that is both to short and not wide enough....flood!!
From Gisborne we rode to here, Ohope Beach. The route took us through a beautiful gorge which would have been even better had it not rained. I’m kit complaining about the weather as we’ve seen to have done well following the weather forecasts and avoiding the worst of it. Well, Sarah has, that seems to be one of her jobs.
Today is Saturday the 13th of April. We’ve got a bit of a plan for the next few days that will hopefully see us just south of Auckland on the 21st. I may have said already but our time in New Zealand is drawing to a close.
The bikes are booked in for flight preparations on the 23rd. We need to give them a clean and sort out the stuff that can’t fly with them. Things with batteries, laptop, jump pack etc.
But we’re not there yet, there are still a few hundred miles to ride, more bends to carve and definitely more tea to drink.
Two happy people, two happy bikes.
How are the bikes behaving, you must have 110k miles on the BM now?OnHellas wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 11:24 pm We’re back in the camp kitchen this morning, Weet-Bix with nice cold milk for breakfast.

Beautiful views. Especially a mini waterfall, it is beautiful. What camera was filmed on? Great photo quality
Now there’s a question. We did buy a Sony of some sort or another. A small one, less than £300. We’ve used it two or three times.....the majority of the photos are taken with my iPhone. A 6s I think.
