The highlight for today very very short ride of only 10km is meeting with a fb friend CK Lee who is travelling from Wanaka heading North,and I was riding to South. We communicated thru' mobile phone and the arrangement was i will stay here to book our accommodation while he will arrive later to join me.That's the reason for the very short ride today. After checking in the Chateau Franz Backpackers on a 6 bedrooms dorm for 31 nzd each with attached bathroom and toilet. Plenty of time to kill by washing cloths,clean and lube my bike. CK arrived by 6pm and he demonstrated his good skill in cooking with a stirred fry vege and curry chicken,and celebrated a bottle of wine with me. Thank you so much CK.
