Will we ever make it to Queenstown? This is what we asked ourselves our third day cycling through New Zealand. We chose to cycle through New Zealand to take more time to see the sights and meet the people. The hospitality and friendliness of the Kiwis has been amazing. We have been stopped to share a cup of tea (while riding our bikes), offered desserts and drinks by locals, and have been flagged down to share some local cherries. Although we are traveling at a slower pace with our bikes, the friendly Kiwis have encouraged us to slow down even more...
We spent the last five days cycling with a Belgian couple who have been cycling the world for the last 13 months (and by the end we could actually keep up with them!). We took in some amazing scenery and shared a lot of laughs along the way. We parted ways yesterday, and Ari and I made it safe and sound, and a bit tired, last evening to Queenstown. We are spending today and tomorrow resting and catching up, and will head out to Milford Sound for a day trip before heading up the West Coast of New Zealand. Cycling New Zealand has definitely been one of the most physically challenging activities I've ever done, but also one of the most rewarding.

Sounds like you are having a blast...For some reason i can't pull up the photos and would love to see New Zealand. Any ideas?
We love your writing and musings. Keep them coming, the more the better. Can't wait until you reunite with the Julians. I am very jealous of your trip, as are many others. We could not access your pictures from New Zealand, however. Keep enjoying and writing.
