Markus: On tour

Bicycle upgraded, last things bought, car mechanically checked, insurance policy signed,.... .Well I think we ready to start part one of our tour.

Here 's a qick overview about our next plans: Starting tommorrrow morning against North. We should be at Picton (the ferry station at the northern point of the island south) within 4 days (with quiet lot of program inbetween e.g. hiking, whale watching,....). On monday we take the ferry to cross the Cook Street to Wellington (North Island). Well and after another week or two with some new experiences we should arrive at Bay of Island (Northland, above Auckland). Bay of Island is the official start for the bicycle-tour. That means I/we will do some running, hiking and cycling already in the next days but the main part start at Bay of Island. Together (by car and by bike) should take us the wind down to Christchurch again (by not later than Christmas).
Despite that we have no continous internet access in the next couple of weeks we will keep you informed as good as possible.

Alright guys, next to the text you'll find some pictures from our Christchurch stay.
