An early start as we had a ferry to catch. I got the big breakfast in Dargaville. It was big!
The ride down to Poutu Pt started well, but it was hillier than I expected and eventually became a rough logging track. The bikes (and riders) took a beating!
In our concern not to miss the ferry, we arrived 3 hours early, and the ferry was an hour late. It was great to have some down time (first of the trip I think). We swam in the sea and bought food at the camp ground
The ferry was slow. It arrived in Helensville at 11pm
4 of us decided to ride to Auckland. What a blast riding the quiet roads under lights. Definately one of my highlights so far. In bed soon after 2am
