After an early rise it’s time for breakfast and doing dishes<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

There was a weka as well looking for food<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We’re on our way again<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

This is the Kumara Reservoir<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Sensitive areas stay well protected<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Kawhaka<\/a> Forest<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Another (unnamed) reservoir, just south of the Old Christchurch Road<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Time for a short rest and a nut bar<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Some water level controlling station<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Rachel cycling<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The Kawhaka Creek<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A side (walking) track, to a historic dam, of course we go and have a look<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The historic dam<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Yet another bridge<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

It’s fantastic to cycle through these woods<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The track is very varied, now we have great views of the mountains again<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Time for another rest<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Soaking up some sun<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The very summit of the Kawhaka Pass, it should be (mostly) downhill from now on<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Yay, it goes downhill indeed, we needed that<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

So peaceful here, we’re the only ones on the track, which really adds to the experience<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The inevitable happened: a puncture, so I get the repair kit out and fix it<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Many bridges to cross<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Had there been a water source here we would have camped here as the grass almost looks mowed and is so flat,<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And the views are great<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We’re now in Cowboy Paradise<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Not sure what this is supposed to be\/become<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Enjoying the view and some food<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A selfie<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I’m very happy with the pannier bags<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Crossing the Arahura river<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We have about done our kilometers for today so we pitch the tent while we still have access to the river, the fact the ground here is flat is an added bonus<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

What a view!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
