Good evening world!

Try nr. xxxx to pay the woodhills bikepark a visit...
Weather was perfect, no labour days, went to bed (quite) early the night before, got up (quite) early...
But no trains out there on weekends :(
As it's around 40km on way, there's no way to just go there by bike when a full day of bike park is planned.
So I bought a ticket for the ferry over to Devonport and biked all the way to North Head.
Visited Petra during her work on the way and some nice Weisswuerscht mit Brezel :)
Should have been like 50km to go with a lot of little hills to be climbed every where and a lot of wind from the wrong side on my way back to Akl...
So in the end I'm now pretty done ;)

After my first Rugby game on big screen with some explanations about the rules I at least understand the basics of the biggest sport here :)
Every single football/soccer player would be crying with the 1st 2mins....

Tomorrow perhaps a 2nd visit to a cool climbing hall I found with Martin.

It's really big one with loads of different routes to do.
Was pretty cool last time (although we both didn't do too good)!

MTB trip to Rotorua and napier will have to wait till the 2nd part of my journey here, as it's just not possible to get there without a car. No train at all and buses just incl several tours and for that not very cheap.
So I might just hop on the Overlander train to Wellington on Fr or Sat.
Then some of Wellington trails and by ferry over to Picton.

Looking so forward to get over to the south island, doing Queen Charlotte etc!!!!! :)
Weather is now stable enough that it doesn't rain every single day, so nothing can go wrong :)

so much for the moment...

cheers
