Long pleasant downhill stretches from the mountains towards Whanganui river were fantastic, even an icecream for breakfast to start off the day under the warmth of the sun that stuck with us for the whole day made it a day to throughly enjoy.
Having being told that 15km of the westerly road from Raetihi was recently surfaced and is now completely tar sealed was a bonus to the day and with little traffic as we descended from the mountains and with magnificent views... I'm just going to simply say that today was awesome with nothing not to enjoy about it - the pictures below illustrate how good today was.
