BayLakes Tour 9 to 17 November, 2013 Page One - Papamoa to Taupo
The usual line-up before departing on day one. Unfortunately, as
he was walking to the end of the line, Garth blocked Glen -
so we moved Glen forward.
It was a long line. Here's the rest of it with Garth safely parked on the end.
Mike and Garth wondering what to do next, at the Maketu Estuary.

At Murupara JB shouted, to celebrate 50 years in NZ.
Sloop made a little speech to mark the occasion.
Now JB's got no excuse to not dry the dishes.
Is this a version of look at the ceiling and think of England?.

At Broadlands - for lunch - the ultimate store was found.
It had REAL COFFEE and ENERGY SHAKES.
What more could a cyclist ask for?
You're right - a plane for an easy trip back home.
