Hokitika to Hari Hari
After several long days today would be a
shorter one as a spell of bad weather was due to roll in from
the afternoon for 2-3 days. Another beautiful track to start the day
along an old timber tramway added a few kms but kept us of the
highway. The mostly hidden sleepers gave us plenty of bumps. Once in
Ross we found ourselves with time to spare and stopped in a cafe for
coffee and full breakfast. The owner seemed to take pity on us and
served the one meal on two plates with enough for two. Sometimes
cyclists do get preferential treatment it seems. We finally met and
spoke to another cycle tourer who was doing a small loop of middle
South Island. He was from Peru and we swapped stories of New Zealand
and South America touring. It seemed odd to recommend where he should
travel in Peru as he hadn't travelled through a lot of the areas we
had been through.
The motel in Hari Hari was closed for refurbishing but fortunately there was a hotel but at £55 it was more than we would have normally spent,little choice though. There was only one shop in Hari Hari which was part of the cafe and inevitably prices were high and stock limited. Frozen bread again.
