Worked out that I could put all I needed in terms of different clothing post cycle into the pannier bags along with myc cycling gear and balance the amp on the back of the bicycle (all 16kilos of it) with my tent on top and with my guitar on my back - manageable for short distances walking of course!
Day 16 was travelling down in the car with Sue to Wellington dropping me all the way to my friends in Island Bay who like Sue and Gary put me up for a night once again (this weary traveller returns or should that be homeless waif?!). Felt strange having anotherday of rest but great to catch up with Mike and Jane and the kids and to have the delight of one of the kids and her friends all entertaining us with 'ABBA' dancing for the night - definitely brought back memories with my friend Casie H and myself strutting our stuff when we were 10 years old or maybe that was 13?! Just shows you there is no time limit on great songs and their enjoyment to all different generations.
My two days rest in the North Island were also met with the realization that I had in fact cycled over 1,060km in two weeks -the length of New Zealand. There was some heart to be taken in that feat for sure.....
