After a fantastic breakfast thanks to our hosts Manni and Claire we made for Wellington. Cold southerly still operating
Coffee in Martinborough and next to the start of the Rimutaka incline track. Great riding. Steady gradient and good conditions
No chance of making the 4pm ferry, but we went hard down the Hutt Valley just in case.
We managed to sweet talk or way onto the 8:30pm ferry and arrived in Picton late. I think I slept the whole trip as I only remember the first and last 5 min of the sailing.
