Huge sadness that Steve and his Beemer took a tumble, however the trip goes on. Constrained by iphone keyboard and NZ scratch card wifi access I'll attempt to keep the blog 'a rollin along'. Riding the Triumph Tiger away from Christchurch and my best buddy was a mixture of emotions. Slowly the calm of the agricultural landscape and open vistas provided some context. Breaking at Geraldine for late lunch changed everything. I was now in Mackenzie country. Supposedly descended from the Mackenzie clan, I felt an uncanny connection. It is big and very beautiful. Long sweeping curves clinging to its undulating contours. Plenty of opportunity for kicking through the cogs. Finally arrived at Lake Tekapo. And what a contrast. Earlier I walked along its beautiful shoreline and now, with no light pollution, there is a wonderful tranquility sitting under the star studded night sky. Goodnight Steve - so sorry you're hearing this second hand.
