Day 45 - Whanganui to Whanganui

 18 February 

A rest day (of sorts) as we ambled 3k further into the city with our crocs on.

After a lunch at McD’s, and as we are leaving, who should ride up onto the footpath? Brad!

Brad Hall has been cycling with a small group of mates from Cape Reinga since early February. I’ve known him since teachers college days and he was best man at our wedding. It was so good to catch up with him and we did so at the sports bar for the rest of the afternoon. We had dinner with his mates also and enjoyed hearing different stories from them.

By evening, we returned to Braemar House YHA. Our tent pitched on the back lawn under a pepper tree.

Just like the Ford Escort I used to own.

These pencils would take some sharpening!
