Akawroa: It is a mixed day here on the east coast 2 hours from Christchurch, it is cold and windy with some clear sky at times. I am really missing clear weather!!! The bay here is very pretty but it is small surrounded by hills so a long distance run would be difficult, so maybe I will just walk laps. I miss my running and cycling routes. I guess that is why you go on these extended journeys - they help you appreciate your routines.
When I was getting up this morning I was dreading getting up to another cloudy day so I decided to take some action and go to the bakery, have a capuccino and read the guide on tasmainia. Guys it will be more of the same a cloudy cold maritime climate for another week so I better come up with a plan - maybe it will be hiking. Hiking believe it or not has been getting to my knees. We bought some trecking poles but by the time I get done with a 3 hour hike I am hurting. Oh well I will just have to get back to the flat land.
Today we will probably do a harbor cruise. They are nice but we have done so many this trip that they are loosing their specialness, yo don't want that to happen. I have been downing quite a bit of wine - it is easy in a land known for it. That hasn't been helping my athletic performace. Vacations are for letting go but I am letting my bad habits get in the way.
My daughter nikki knows about "Wicked" van rentals. They have crazy images and sayings painted on new vans. My favorite was "great legs - what time do they open up". In some ways I am ready to climb back into the saddle. One more week
later
