36km today!

We headed off at a good time and went back the way we came in. Our first hill was right there. It took a couple of breaks to make it up, but we did it all on the bikes. Then it was downhill to Tapapakanga Regional Park, then back uphill. This hill wasn’t bad at all. There was a nice view at the top where we had a snack.

From here we stuck next to the coastline all the way to Miranda. We stopped at Kaiaua for lunch. It was a good hour before we got back on our bikes. Only 13km to go.

There is a cycle trail next to the road, which was a bit haphazard in parts from recent storms. But we followed it in parts and ended up at the Miranda Springs Holiday Park at 2pm. Nice and early. After set up we got into the pool which is pretty hot. We lasted 40min before needing to get out. After dinner, we hopped into bed to read our books. Then we decided to hop back in the spa
