It\u2019s official. We now only have ten days left to leave the EU. And we still have 1000 kms to do, and that\u2019s in a straight line, not taking into account our squiggly ones! We are averaging about 150 kms per day at the moment, so we better get cracking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today we drove, taking the back roads as normal, and stumbled upon some very picturesque towns. There was chocolate ripple galore and I loved it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then we found a nice walk to do. Neither of us felt like walking, but I insisted, as we need to get our fitness up if we are to do the Routeburn track next year. It was a nice walk, through the forest with giant cliffs rising up on the side. We went out without any water or anything, which was really dumb, as it would have been a nice 9km loop walk had we been better organised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After that, we just kept on driving, along country lanes and pretty towns. It was like cycle touring but in the comfort of a van.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 4pm, we found a free spot to stop right on a cycle path. I do wish we had our bikes here, and I think we\u2019ll look at getting a bike rack for the van. I think we\u2019ll go to France tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
