New Zealand - Wellington

Well, I'm back in Auckland. I've been here for a few days, trying to get some work done and stuff, before heading South.

The cycle trip was good fun, but not sure if it's practical any more - I've covered most of the warm bits of the country.

Today I went for a cycle around town, and thought I'd take a trip across the bridge. Apparently that's not allowed, and I got busted by the cops on the other side. Had to get a bus back. Nice views though.

Anyway, for the record I covered 620km in ten days' cycling, with only a one day stop at the end. Pretty easy going when the sun shines, but like hell when the wind blows, the hail comes down and the logging trucks are whipping you around in their slipstream...

Thanks for reading! I guess you could now share this post on TikTok or something. That'd be cool.
Or if you had any comments, you could find me on Threads.
