Day 19 - Chocolate, Beer and Pu Pu

Before leaving Collingwood we visited Rosy Glow's chocolate emporium and sampled some choc goodness. Mmmm....chocolate.



After 10km's or so we passed the Mussel Inn again and Kym insisted on stopping for a beer, so we did. Mmmm...beer. The riding was beautiful today, the weather has definitely improved ! Here's a nice view of Golden Bay.



On our way into Takaka (hippie capital of Golden Bay), we visited Te Waikoropupu springs which is apparently the largest freshwater spring in Australasia. It throws up 14000 litres of water a second, incredibly clear and beautiful although unfortunately you can't touch / drink it due to the risk of infecting the river with Didymo. Here's a crazy photo I took looking into the water.

Stats :
  • Distance : 34km
  • Height : not much
  • Time : 2hrs
  • Beers consumed : 2 each, total 4
  • Chocolate consumed : 1 large log each (saving the fudge cake for later)
