Last breakfast with Rosemary who has been a wonderful hostess. We have had 3 great days with her. She made us feel so welcome, producing vino, G and Ts and lots of lovely food. She has a delightful house which she partly designed herself and all in all a most enjoyable few days.
Set off at 8.30am but had to circumnavigate Christchurch as difficult to cycle through it as so many of the bridges and roads are closed for repair and often the locals get lost. So spent 90 minutes and 24 miles to get onto Highway 1. However made excellent progress as completely flat terrain with a NE wind behind us. Arrived 72 miles later in Ashburton - to Coronation Park and our motel with full catering facilities which we will take full advantage of as cycling makes one very hungry and thirsty!

Hi to you both
You seem to be doing very well, and glad to hear you have had a nice break with your friend in Christchurch,although it must have been a bit heartbraking to see the devastation caused by the earthquake. Enjoying your blogs and Allan says thank you for remembering his birthday.
Lots of love Carol and Allan xxxx
