So me and Maddy Winzer have embarked on our Kiwi training adventure and I've pretty much settled in to life in NZ after our epic journey to the other side of the planet...
After some pretty emotional goodbyes at the airport and a smooth but extremely long journey of 30hrs with about 3hrs sleep we touched down in Napier, Hawkes Bay on Friday...pleased to say our bikes arrived safely too (thanks to Roofbox Company)! Then I think the excitement carried us through the day as we explored the town. We've put the beach side open air pool to good use since being here and had a few good runs (hills galore!). Today we'll hit the road for a ride and hopefully sample some of the local mountains :)
We've also both bagged a job each already and budgeting on food isn't a problem when you've got fresh veg and oranges and lemons growing in the garden!
Life is looking goood!
Alex
