Whales not Wales !

Hi all
Kaikoura is the place to go Whale watching in NZ . Won't be going today though got a few hills to ride over before getting to next stop in Cheviot. After that on Thursday  I hope to be in or around Christchurch. Hope its not too rocking and rolling . That will be a big milestone and where I leave the beautiful East coast behind and head for the hills!
Not so beautiful today though , its raining and I'm starting in wet gear .
Yesterday was absolutely amazing , riding right alongside the beach for most of the way, lovely sunny day and had lunch watching the Seals on the rocks .
Better press on got a bike to ride!  Thanks again to all you kind people who are supporting the Ride and raising money for St Richards Hospice.

  4. Hi John, Greetings from Langley Towers! (Honda HQ) I'm so impressed by your efforts. I felt driving a small engined car around South Island was a huge task, so I can't believe the distances you're travelling on a bike! Lovely to see your pics, I have fond memories of whale watching in Kaikoura (although Kev was pretty sea sick!).

    I expect the sales targets seem a million miles away when you're climbing those mountains! Love the updates and a great cause- well done! Kate
