AUKLAND TO PUKEKOHE
We have arrived!
No jet lag at all! We get on a plane at 7:00pm on Sunday night, are served dinner around 8:30pm and then fall asleep until about 4:20am when breakfast is served.
The plane lands about an hour later and we get on with our day. The only strange thing is that it is Tuesday. So Monday never happened.
The Boomtown Rats would love this!
Anyway, we assemble our bikes and we are off.
No problems navigating our bikes on the left side of the road. We easily adapted. At least we are not learning to drive a vehicle with all the controls on the other side. The bike operates the same here as as it does at home.
We only travelled 45km to a place called Pukekohe where we stayed at the TouchWood Motor Lodge. We are starting out a bit slow as Andy didn't get a change to exercise for the 2 weeks prior to his visit. I don't mind, I've been remiss myself in that regard prior to my trip.
It is good to be in summer again. The weather is wonderful. Tomorrow we head to Thames.
