So for the second time in a week, I am holed up in a backpacker because of bad weather! Now I am at lake Tekapo, if I could ride every day from tomorrow on, I would arrive in Queenstown in exactly a week. Somehow I don't think thats going to have much more than once, which reminds me of Humbolt a lot. Of course I cant complain, life is still great and this lake is amazing! Its got a turquoise blue color that Ive never seen before. There is a machine and a samba share. No more straight, flat roads with nothing to see but sheep and nothing to do but pedal and count fence posts! This is the promised land!
