Easy first days ride on the rail trail. Scenery amazing. The first 3 km where challenging because the trail was being relaid with soft gravel. We asked the owner of Blind Billys Motel and camp site about the snow and he said it was well overdue and this time last year the trail was 4ft deep in snow. We have been very lucky. We have had sunny weather from day 1, except for the odd cloudy day and one 20minute downpour on Queen Charlotte Trail and the predawn rain at Omarama.New Zealand South Island reminds us of Rhodesia in the late 50s and early 60s. The people are so friendly and seem to be very relaxed. The architecture is very reminiscent of old Rhodesia.
