Day 2 Ahipara to Opononi , much faster today back on the road. I think yesterdays cycle was an eye opener, the wind was one aspect but it hit me as I was cycling today, the beach was flat as a pancake, this means there was no freewheeling, that was 4:30 of cycling with no break. Today was lumpy but I did enjoy those long downhills where you just freewheel. Had my first espresso after 160km at Kohukohu . Then onto a ferry across to Rawene then on to Opononi where it will be fish and chips for dinner tonight.

Coming into Broadwood, just need to get over that hill and then there will be coffee!

But alas no
coffee - only a general store so had to
settle for a can of coke and as a side benefit I found a swing bridge ( first one
of many on this trip).

Found
the coffee at Kohukohu and I was lucky the barista
started at 1PM and I arrived at 12:50. It was worth the 10 minute wait. |

Off to the
ferry with a 20 minute wait, not such a bad view

Arrived
at Opononi to setup up camp and settle down
the best way possible. |
The only
step left is to go and get out fish and chips. Having fish and chips on the beach tonight.
