Marlieke did me proud today, I really wanted to get to the Kai Iwi lakes 74km from where we left this morning and despite the pains of cycling in her ass and legs we made it to a wonderful spot offering a lake that is the purest of all in northern NZ. To get here we strained ourselves up mountains, through forests across baron highland farmland, into valleys and amongst cut blocks.
It was a long day and Marlieke being sweaty and sunburnt really really did not enjoy it.
The distance we cycled today was perhaps too far for her especially the terrain being as it was. We will take it easy tomorrow and give her body time to rest.
The lakeside campsite offered the basics and at $10 each was worthwhile as this place is simply awesome.
I can guarantee that we won't leave here till at least the early afternoon tomorrow.
