and than i had to climb bib mountains and to cross big rivers untill Napier but not on the highway, cos' in a bad day, when everything goes wrong, the car drivers and especially the truckers would be able to kill a pushbyker like a possum on the road so.... i choised the hilly roads nice and quite but like the name says it ...HILLY... And after my last big hill just befor Napier a car stopped on the side of the road... it hsa been brigitte and frank ( unfortunally he hasn't been here for the picture) and an hour later i have been in a nice house with a lovely garden and had a LOVELY meal... thanks guys (they belong to the cycler familly aswell ...)
