Shopping time


Not much to report on today.  Bit of a sleep in, breakfast (am sick of eggs) then went to a mall.  It was huge but not many people about and no I didn't get lost. Purchased a few tee shirts for the grand kids and an iPad for Jan.

Back at hotel now by the pool and have meet a few of the other guests.  A family from Canada, a Pom and 3 kiwis just passing through (might be a social night)!

The good news is went on one of the weight/height machines at the mall and have dropped 3 kg since I left home.  Also worked out have traveled 6500 miles on bike which is appox 10500 km.

On the travel channel Henry Cole on worlds greatest motorcycle ride has been here a few times and he has only cracked the surface of what a great country this is.  It has everything a biker wants, wide open spaces, mountain riding, fantastic scenery and the people. 

I cannot speak highly enough of the people!  Here they are courteous, have hardly heard any one swear and the service has been excellent.  In fact have not had one bad encounter (have had a few cars tooted at me and the odd bird finger) but they are courteous and helpful and are very interested in NZ.  Most people I have spoken to have said its on their place to visit.

Haven't taken many pics over the last few day as been on freeways.
