Pelorus Bridge – Nelson. Yippeeee !
We were both
excited. Only 54 km between us and Janneke. We set off at about 10
and wound our way up a couple of hills. Nothing too strenuous. The
biggest problem was the head wind which slowed us right down.
Unfortunately we had to cycle on quite a busy road but there was
mostly a hard shoulder. The alternative route off road just looked to
difficult to contemplate with our bikes. Very bouldery and steep. It
would be great with proper mountain bikes though. As we cycled along
the coast road we could see Nelson in the distance for ages and then
it worked out that Janneke lives in the far side of town. The last
few km's seem to take forever because we were so keen to get there.
We were rewarded with a warm welcome and wonderful views from her
house over the sea.
