Scraped off the road by a very kind pair of Americans (thanks John and Serena) and dropped off at Ashburton Hospital, the X-RAY showed a break to both Tibia and Fibia. Screws and metal work required.
Ambulance ride to Christchurch Hospital presented two options. Fly home now and get an op in the UK or wait 5 days for the swelling to go down then a few more post-op before flying. I'm going for the early return. AXA travel insurance are on the case!
Meantime Graham sorted out the stuffed bike and got all my gear to the hospital. Thanks mate! He has rejoined the itinerary a day behind but bit should all catch up in a day or so.
The ride today to Lake Tekapo sounded good as does the cold beer at the end. On the bright side NZ NHS food is not bad and the staff are lovely.
The trip won't be the same without you. Hopefully I won't get lost with Garmin keeping me on the straight and narrow
