We'd arranged for our bikes to be collected and transported back to Auckland home Friday afternoon. Rather than hanging about and punishing ourselves all over again we decided to bring forward our departure to 1425 Friday. Unfortunately someone's enthusiasm overshadowed their competence and we ended up booked on a Saturday afternoon flight - 24 hours later than we wanted, quite a problem as accomodation was an issue. We realised our predicament over brunch (by then we were back on soft solids), and after much tooing and fro-ing found only only option was ex Christchurch, 502kms away. We got our act together and headed off, arriving 6 hours later - more fabulous scenary on great roads, and the added bonus of a late lunch at the rightly famous Fairlie Bakery. Another quick but safe ride, considered a bonus by us all. We're now in the Koru lounge replenishing fluids, and looking forward to a quiet weekend Two retrobates on our deck at Peppers Queenstown prior to hitting town Friday night.
