Its been a lovely stay in Gisborne with Ian and Tui after my Parliament Grounds Freedom Village experience, both of us catching “Alphadeltacrom”, recovering and exploring the lower east side of the Wellington coastline such as Cape Palliser, Lake Wairarapa and Masterton. Jude and I have had a lovely time staying with these great mates. Of course because we are jab-free they do tend to call us their leper friends… but amongst friends who cares. These guys are amazing and we really enjoy the banter, beers and the friendship. Now the weather is another story and boy when it rains up here it rains. JudeRead More →

With the visit to Te Anau completed for our short Central Otago and Southland circuit, its time to head to Invercargill via Tuatapere and the South Coast… of course its going to be a slow trip as we have been doing all the way around our trip stopping to watch our kiwis in their olympic events and today was not different…. a wee bit taxing on our RBI data but well worth it. The first stop was on the side of the road in Tuatapere township yelling and cheering in our moho… crikey I hope no ones watching us, and then we went to theRead More →

We arrived at Pinders Pond just out of Roxburgh yesterday, it was a stunning afternoon and got about charging bike batteries etc for our ride along the Roxburgh Gorge Trail from the Roxburgh Dam to Shingle Creek.

Waking from a good sleep to an overcast but not cold morning, the pond was like glass and so the feature image is of Pinders Pond. The only thing to do was clean up the breakfast dishes and through the door mat inRead More →

Beautiful colours this morning as we wake and look out the window of our moho. But as we know the old saying “Red sky at night shepherds delight, red sky in the morning shepherds warning”. However just pleased to wake up these days. Hopefully the weather hangs off until we finish our ride to the Coffee Float from Cromwell end this time.Read More →

A wet day with the promise of fine weather lead to a division to head to Cromwell for a few days… that was our thoughts yesterday as we packed up (well pulled the door mat in lol). I’d spent time washing our Moho to get the past six months travelling off her and was really hoping that the roads would at least be dry for the trip up the road from Otautau in Southland…. nah! They were wet and full of trucks throwing muddy spray up over any vehicles passing by them in any direction… if it was covid instead of muddy spray we’d allRead More →
