We started today with a short drive to Kikiwar for our ride for today which included a tough 3km climb.
We stopped for morning tea at the bus at the top of the climb before an exhilarating 20 km descent to Kohatu.
This was our final day on the bike – we had ridden 140km in total on the 4 riding days.
After a nice lunch in a cafe at Kohatu, we drove to our final nights accomodation in St Arnaud. Our guides took us for a walk down to Lake Rotoiti to see the eels.
This is a beautiful region with lots of walking trails.
Overlooking the lake is a church with an amazing view – no doubt very popular for weddings.
At dinner our American friends Pat and John told us it was their wedding anniversary. Champagne all around to celebrate.
