Well, good morning
We are just back from our 3 day long bike trip with Lesley and Paul.
It was part of the Alpes2Ocean trail.
We started at Lake Tekapo along a man made canal towards Twizel. We passed some nice woods and had a nice view across Lake Pukaki towards Mount Cook. The perfect spot for a picnic.
We went on oj the Pukaki Flats Track to Twizel back to our home. At the end of the day we spend 42 km on the bike, and my bum started to complain..
Next day 32 km long Section 3 was to be made. It lead us from Twizel to Lake Ohau Lodge.
The first part was again along a canal, but when we reached Lake Ohau we were rewarded by a wonderful view across the lake on a small bike trail running through the bushes, a small rock beach for picnic and a wonderful maintain Lodge hotel with great food and a comfortable room.
Yesterday the last section of our trip was ahead of us. Section 4 from Lake Ohau Lodge to Omarama. The first part was the hardest as the trail went up on a gravel track with lots of false summits, making me believe 5 times we already reached it, but the trail still went upwards. But again the landscape and view was just great.
After 41 km we reached Omarama, where we rewarded ourselves with good food, some beers and an evening in a hot water tub with sauna..
Hi Joe and Frank,
ReplyDeletea look at your comment-section shows that changing the language of the blog has no positive effect. At your last blog nearly every entry was commented.
Apart from that enjoy your holidays and we hope to see u in april.

Good morning!
ReplyDeleteYeah,the comments are really very thin.
I believe people are just not feeling comfortable writing in English, though I didn't expect them to do so. So feel free to write German..
The numbers of readers aren't bad though.
Have a nice day!
