Continuing with our training today’s walk was completed carrying a nearly full pack and going up and down some steps several times.

Hamilton Change Shoes
Jo has bought a new pair of shoes for the upcoming walk, but she’s not happy with them.
Luckily they came with a 30 day return or exchange policy even if they had been worn outside.
So another walk into Hamilton is called for. All good for training.

Hamilton Running
Another day another walk. Starting to train for another walk in Europe. Starting from where we finished last year.
We plan to walk over the Pyranees to Santiago de Compestela.
Hopefully we haven’t left it too late and we are fit enough by June.

Into town for lunch
Our second walk in two days. As it is Easter Sunday we’re not too sure what is open and what is closed today. But we’ll soon find out.

Just got a new watch which can track my route. Hopefully this will help with this year’s walking holiday.

Hole relief

To take a break from digging a hole for myself, we decided to go for a bike ride.
As I had been outside digging for 3 hrs. It was time for a coffee and a item to eat first. After a period for digestion and getting the bikes ready it was 2.00 PM and possibly not the best time of day to start.
So through the heat we made our way to Hamilton via the river, finding an alternative route back home.
Not having been on the bikes for ages you soon see how much fitness you have lost.
Oh well back to my hole.

We have stopped for a week at an house sit just outside of Christchurch. Yesterday we did a trip out to Akaroa. This is supposed to be a French influenced town. We arrived right on lunchtime and were surprised to find everything open. So much for being a French town.

Possibly our last day of touring as we stop in Christchurch to catch up with Robyn and also stop for a house sit.
Our journey today was from Timarau to Hornby traveling via SH72 a scenic route a bit longer and slower than SH1.
The first thing we noticed is the snow on the mountains. This has appeared in the last couple of days. We also stopped at a big tree.

Heading north towards Christchurch where we have a house sit starting on Thursday. Stopped off to see some rocks.
Some steam punk and some elephants.
