Well we made Wanganui, it was a beautiful day for a ride had a few rest stops along the way but the bike felt good and the road works weren't to bad. I still think investing in the company that makes those orange road cones would be a winner !
Got to National Park and thought right for a bit of a rest saw a couple of bikes and some people sitting at a table outside of a pub/bistro turned around and pulled in, took off our riding gear said hi to the people and all the normal things bike people say. 'good day for it ' and all that. Decided to have a beer only to learn that they were the owners and their cousin and the place didn't open till four. But in true kiwi hospitably style the owners made kym a sandwich and we had a beer with them.
So if you are traveling down State Highway 4 stop in at Eivins Cafe in National Park village and see Bryce and Marie, good folks , great view, Kymbo reckons great sandwich. And they even took a photo of us with our camera.
We met up with a friend and went to dinner in the great metropolis of Wanganui. She took us up to the top of the 'elevator' and had a really cool view of the city. After having our suspicions confirmed that the rates were a bit cheaper because of the location of the campground, I put the cable lock on my bike.
Forgotton world highway tomorrow?
