Our
Invercargill disaster was behind us and hopefully we will not experience it again. The trip shifted to second part and we had to start returning back
North, but first our plan was to conquer the true southernmost point of
South Island,
Slope Point.
 |
| The grass on the South part of the South Island was much greener than on northern areas |
Since there was no way to move more
South on the roads, we continued on the coastline towards
East where we ran to our best roads so far. New seal, great corners and empty roads just put the smile on our faces and our bikes were dancing around the curves in a nice rythm. That's
The Catlins! Even-though the roads were excellent we convinced ourselves to stop from time to time and check some beautiful places on our way.
 |
| Florence Hill Lookout seemed a good place for our typical lunch, rice with tuna and some veggies |
 |
| After delicious lunch we continued on a scenic road towards Alexandra |
 |
| In Alexandra John decided to change his rear tyre (it became almost as bad as mine a day ago) and we took the opportunity to have a nice break with a Monteith's beer in a local bar |
 |
| Our Suzuki RF 900 R's rode on some great roads today and it seems they will continue to do so over the Lindis Pass, 971 m a. m. s. l. |
 |
| We passed the home of the Icebreaker. John, their true representative, also convinced me to think about using their merino products, although I don't show that to him. He definitely deserves a free pack of Merino underwear every Xmas from sheep Santa. Just look at the smile on his face. When we stopped for this photo, only his jacket and boots were not made from his favourite wool. |
