Omarama has a Top 10 holiday park that this morning was alive with the buzz of children searching for Easter egg around the grounds. Under the guiding eyes of their mum and dads of course :)
Not the most restful sleep last night. A neighbouring tent of two cycling families had their toddler screaming in the early hours. Sounded like teething pain from the cry. Anyhow, all seemed well this morning.
The weather is overcast and cool. By mid-day the sun is blazing hot as we stride along the roads edge. There is minimal shade for some time until the hills close in and we start entering the Lindis Pass. Willow trees are a blend of green and yellow. They dress the valleys and show where the streams are flowing.
As the light of the day begins to fade, we press on to locate an area beside a free flowing stream. Rosehip bushes are numerous here. Karl gets a reminder of just how pointed the thorns are. His thumb doesn’t appreciate the jab and tip now stuck in it. Ouch!
A steady 26k covered for the day. We have to be self sufficient for the next three days.
