New Zealand - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

[Uni]

Leaving in an hour on a jet plane with a one way ticket. ...

Happy trails Hayley - look fwd to the pics in the where has your bike taken you thread.

You do realise that there is snow in all the pics you have posted?  I am a fair weather kinda guy which is why I chose the NI  (see what I did there, you have to be on your toes to pick up on all the acronyms).  When are you back in town again?

haha, it really isn't so bad. I wear a regular shirt to work. No jersey etc. Only gets cold at night or at altitude.

 

As for coming up to the NI again... one of my best buds (and former work colleagues) is transferring to the Auckland office (in fact he'll sit where I sat those few weeks ago), so I think I may come visit him shortly after he arrives.

Mmmm, so our first home cooked meal in our new rental...

The salmon in this country is ridiculously good.

The lamb too. In fact all the meat is good.

You have membership with that club right?

I'm thinking of signing up, does the membership/result fee give you free access to the tails? (sho one didn't have to pay $10 everytime)

Did you Auckland people see the weather for the next 5 days? Sun Sun Sun

 

Deffo getting some dirt on the rubber

And maybe going accross to the W-island or other beach viewing trips. Today I plan to do an urban ride on the 'cycle/back paths' from my hotel to Wayne's area (it seems to go most way there)
