Where do we start with this blog! The first day has been rain and shine, traffic and tranquility.
We left Palmerston North early, so good start. With local knowledge of roads, we didn't take Transmission Gully to Wellington, instead went through the old road. What a lovely ride. It was a little bit wet for the riders, but nice and dry in the van!
Next it was on to the Ferry, where we had some fantastic entertainment from a couple of the boys. This video needs no further words.... (except to say Muffin and Danny would have drowned! Although Danny did nearly get lucky.... hahahahaha)
Then we stopped at Aston Motel in Blenheim. The service here is next to none. Warm, welcoming and just so accommodating. We highly recommend you stay here for the hospitality.
Lasagne for dinner, then tomorrow we are off to Hanmer Springs.... Who knows what day 2 will bring!
