Tour de Coromandel
During Easter break my friend Gabby and I decided to go on an epic biking trip. All in all, it was one of the dumber things I have done in NZ, right behind going on a a night hike. Gabby and I biked 100 miles in two days over very hilly terrain to coromandel town on the coromandel pininsula. It was too grueling days, that made my butt hurt so bad that even sititng on a bed was painful. We saw amazing secenory. I was almost eaten by an angry dog on the first day. the second day ended in two huge mountains to bike, the road going up hill for miles. We looked so pathetic going up the first mountain that a grandfather with his two grandchildren stopped and offered us a ride to the town. we took it. The first night I slept 12 hours, the second night I slept 14 hours. It was incredibly exauhsting, and amazingly beautiful. The third day we hung out on the beach. We got lunch at this traditional smoked fish shack. We then had dinner on the dock waitng for the ferry ride back to Auckland. We were all alone on the dock, watching hte sky change from blue, to pink, to black. We layed there for hours watching the stars come out, and tracking the shooitng stars race across the skies. All and all an amasing trip, and a very cery tiring trip. I kind of hate bikes now.
