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 put up for a phone on one of the day we had our heater up 100% for 3 weeks nearly 6 months ago. 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 custom base layer for use with FastApi. 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!
