I was born to be a biker, of this I am now sure. Our Harley ride was spectacular and to make the experience complete, day two was a complete washout and we looked like eels after spending a full ten hours on the bike through torrential rainstorms. Luckily, we made it back safely and had pure sunshine on our last morning's ride into Christchurch, which was a stunning ride through Allan's Pass which had some incredible views. We did a total of about 1200 kilometers which isn't too bad considering it was very slow going on many of the mountain roads. One of the most scenic things was the proliferation of gorgeous yellow and purple wildflowers in the fields around the mountains. Now all we need to do is settle down somewhere so I can get myself a bike!
We are nearing the end of our visit here in Christchurch. We leave here on Thursday and will be heading up to Nelson for a few days then we'll take the ferry to the north island and spend Christmas in Wellington. After that we only have a few days to get back up to Auckland for New Years and the next leg of our journey... to Chile!
