We had been told that cycling this area of the South Island would be flat and boring but what was worse was much like yesterday, bad head wind and another flat tire.
There was a brief 20 minutes of tailwind until I was graciously treated to yet another flat tire and whilst I fixed the issue the wind direction had shifted.
We ended the day at the folks of a guy Marlieke had met in Bali last year. Zim (marliekes friend) wasn't at his parents place where we had arrived but he invited us there anyway. Roy and Cheryl were happy to have visitors come and stay in their beautiful home in the town of Levin.
Originally farmers from Zimbabwe, Africa they had to leave for political reasons and their family were at risk.
Their story was absolutely unbelievable but have now spent over two decades here in New Zealand living happy lives.
Marlieke and I were treated to a lovely meal and surreal stories of Roy and Cheryl's previous home.
