We headed off from Ikamatua around 9am. We have been debating whether to head to Hokitika or Greymouth. I don’t think my legs will get me all the way to Hokitika. The weather is set to get very wet so I guess we will see. We start off quite fresh there is a hill we both need to walk up. It is pretty smooth sailing most of the way.

When we get halfway, I feel like Greymouth is around the corner. Of course, in car terms it really is around the corner, but biking takes a lot longer than a car. Rowan gets a bit ahead of me and he is like a kid seeing his favourite train. By the time I catch up, he is already playing on it. The train was actually found here hidden by bust in the 70s. They took it apart, fixed it up and removed the rust. Found most of the parts or made new bits where they couldn’t find it and ended up restored back where they found it.

We got into Greymouth about 1pm. Ideally, I would have the energy to carry on, I really didn’t. We headed to the campground just as a small shower of rain came. When we arrived, there was a group of river kayakers that we met in Murchison. It was fairly busy at the campground being Easter Sunday. An easy dinner of pizza that a weka just wanted to eat.
