Tuesday 1st Dec/Wednesday 2st Dec
Woke up to heavy rain but decided to get on the bikes anyway. Lucky that we did as soon the sun shone and we had perfect weather for the biggest climb yet - 791 metres to the the top of Takaka Hill. Very proud of ourselves and we had an awesome down hill.

We stayed 2 nights at a nice hostel with a hot tub (lovely). At the local supermarket they had a brass band playing Christmas Carols and santa was there giving our sweets - bizarre in the middle of summer!
Celebrated getting over Takaka Hill by drinking a bottle of wine in the hot tub.
On Wed we did a day ride (without the panniers) to Waini Bay - stunning coastal route with huge overhanging cliffs.
We saw some lovely beaches and we spotted a pod of dolphins and Nic took this ace photo.

Brilliant Photos - especially the one of the dolphin :)
