Well that was a long ride… started a 8:30 and arrived at 16:30…. With a couple of fuel stops (getting paranoid about that) and a stop for breakfast at Fox Glacier (tea and two sausage rolls)… just like Greggs?!
The ride, the roads and the scenery were all fantastic. Lots of beautiful mountains and lakes. Find a great view and there’s no lay-by - find a lay-by and there’s no view!!!! Plus most of the lay-by and deep gravel aarrggghh.
I was getting a bit tired towards the end as I approached Queenstown - and it was a very slow ride behind so many slow drivers and then even slower coming off the top of the mountain…. Endless hair pins and the smell of cooking brakes!!!
Managed to locate the motel… very well appointed - it’s the first with a/c. I’ll finish this and then wander into town to find supper…
