New Zealand January 1-19: The People

People have been very kind to us, before and after travelling.

Manfred from Germany, who liked to cycle 150 miles a day, was strong and generous.

Ann and George, two folks in their late 60s from England and who live on a houseboat were fine company at Murchison.

Julia and Brian, Kiwis from Waikari, took good care of us at The Cyclists' Retreat.

Paul, a Kiwi and a serious cyclist from Christchurch, used ace mechanic skills to upgrade Cyane's bike. We met Paul and his wife in Auckland - and hooked up with them when we arrived in Christchurch.

We miss everyone at home. More soon.
