Stunning scenery! First of all, I want to buy one of the cute historic cottages in Arrowtown. Let me know if you have one for sale in my price bracket.

We shot into the village for a quick look before jumping on the trail. It is a very scenic ride. I can definitely recommend doing it.

Once past the alpacas, we collided with a group from an ebike hire place. Some could bike, but 80% of them were very wobbly and probably haven’t cycled in years. After getting around them and trying to stay out of their way, we were off. Luckily, they looked like they went to Gibbston Valley as we didn’t see them again. We carried on along the trail where we got to the top and had a rest. A lady asked for tissues or toilet paper for her friend who has a runny nose. Lucky for her, we are prepared.

After the uphill, there was the most spectacular downhill. It just kept coming. I felt bad for the cyclists in the other direction, but most of them are on ebikes, so I don’t feel that bad. We have three ups to do after this. At the shotover bridge, we get over taken by some ebikers. Making the hills look piss easy. Rude! Haha

We head off track a bit because we are going into the Frankton shops. Somehow we managed to damage the Kindle screen (he blames me, of course) now we need to replace it. Yes, this will be his third Kindle of the trip! Everyone is out of stock. We get to the warehouse and they only have the display model. One of the staff members happily sells it to us for $50! It’s much cheaper than $279 for the full price. Happy days!

Sushi for lunch and off again to get back on the track. It is reasonably flat the rest of the way into the main centre.

We head straight to the holiday park to set up before heading back downhill to the 4square. We can’t help but get a Ferg Burger to share on the way back. The line is so short it seemed mad not too!
