Ok, decided to change today's destination from Thames to the famous sleepy town of Paeroa, so named after the famous local drink (which i'll sample later..).. though the name of the accommodation got me worried, casa mexicana in NZ - should be interesting..

Great cycle today, no punctures and clear sunshine all the way.. Hopefully the same tomorrow?

Great views and made great time covering the 90kms, hilly but small ish hills.. Scott mentioned a great shortcut avoiding some of the tight roads through the gorge round some back roads in Waihi - and some great views down there.. (down past Waihi Golf Club for those that know the area)..

Sorry these last 4 days are short in writing - am on a time limit in the local library here - so will update photos tomorrow from Auckland..

Time: 4hrs 14mins

Congratulations James makes our five mile walks seem very tame. Next time if you want a real work out we'll see if we can find the Grifter for you. We are all very proud of you in the West Country. Now back to our sunbeds in Sharm el Shiekh.
