I leave tommorrow morning. Today I'm spending indoors, no biking. Friends are coming to visit for coffees and a few boardgames (Settlers), which will be a nice way to get my mind off the "what have I forgotten to pack?" question. I can't beleive that for the next 5 or 6 weeks my bike will be home for Kaycee and I. No TV's, no computers, no radios, no clock's, or pressure, or timetables, just new horizons.
Things I'm most looking forward to now:
- The downside of the Spooners range. The lookout up there will be the last veiw of Nelson. After that I'll really feel like we're on our way.
- Camping next to the mighty Buller River.
- Jackson's Head.
- The Rail Trail in Otago.
- My favourite part of NZ's coastline, the Kaikoura Coast. This will feel like the home strecth to me and there's some great camping spots along there. There is something about be able to hear the pounding surf on rock beachs from where you sleep that is deeeeeply relaxing.
I've configured my phone to send photos for my Flickr account and tag them with "around the south", "mobile phone" and "coffeewaffle". I can give each photo a title by changing the name of the image file before I send it. I'll add descriptions whenever I find an internet cafe.
I will post again before we leave... probably just before with the bike all loaded up.
