Westport

After two amazingly beautiful days of cycling from Nelson (Richmond). I finally made it to the West Coast or should I say the Wet Coast (yes it already rained). Today, I cycled to Cape Foulwind and saw more seals (not nearly as close as those that I saw near Cape Farewell).

Apparently a weak Southerly is coming this way - so that means that the winds will be stronger and the weather wetter... fingers crossed that I can make it a bit further south and hopefully make it to the Wild Foods Festival in Hokitika - google it for more details.

Still missing travelling with others - Yvon in particular. That being said however at the moment I'm staying with a local guy named Scott Iremonger... who I met in Takaka. Kiwi's are definitely a trusting 'lot' as once again I have the keys to his house and have been told to make myself at home - so I did by making dinner for he and I last night - and then we were both attacked by sandflies. I'm sure I'll post something about sandflies in the near future as they will really start to bother me on the coast.

Anyway, autumn is almost here...and it's hard to believe that 2 months have almost gone by. My adventure has been heaps of fun so far.

Adventure is about pushing your own personal boundaries and exceeding your own personal expectations.
