Today I didn’t nearly get as wet. I did 86km but the tailwind made it feel like 60 so I was thankful for that. It was bloody cold, but probably not the coldest day I will experience in the next 5 weeks.

I am in Christchurch for the next couple of days being a tourist and catching up with some great people. This is a milestone for me, basically 1/4 of the trip is under my belt. Woohooo!
