Wellington to Picton to Havelock

Welcome to the South Island! We hopped off the ferry at about 1:40 PM on Wednesday, January 23rd, changed into cycling clothes and rode the scenic route to Havelock. We're lovin' life right now. Spectacular views, no cars, cool breezes, pristine waters, and great company! The scenic route was hilly but well worth the work! Our legs are starting to feel like they know how to climb mountains and recover reasonably. Very encouraging...




Today's ride was brief - just 30 miles. Not enough to bonk! We're working our way up to the top saddle on the South Island called Nelson. Supposedly wine country...we'll have to see if the tales are true.
