The water never stops flowing in this country. Along this 20Kish stretch of riding we passed came across two sizable lakes (not Tahoe scale though), tons of little waterfalls, and streams of all sorts of varying sizes, requiring little bridges. All of the bridges are numbered and there’s a little sign naming the creek…we passed creeks named after the NZ birds (Kiwi, Kea, etc.), Mi Mi Creek, and my favorite of all – after many, many creeks, Random Creek. Riding along, there was the road (to the wrong side of me) and moss covered ridges to the other – waterfalls just dripped over them. There seemed to be another one springing forth every few yards. Passed lots of dead possums, but there will be no road kill photos on this blog, Britta – sorry. Just like the water, the green didn’t seem to be without end either. More and more fern trees and the beautiful kahikateas.
