Monday 3rd February - Greymouth to Hokitikai

We had a pleasant ride today.  Started out from the camp site along the cycle trail which was better than we thought.  The trail ran between the shore line and the road.  The riding was easy as there was no wind and it was flat.  We came across some unique features of the area, mainly to do with the old railways.  The main road at one stage, at Taramakau Road Rail Bridge, went into a single carriageway with the rail track in the centre while crossing a major river.  A unique rail road bridge.  On another occasion on a main road junction at Kumara Junction the rail line split the roundabout into two.  

After about 10 miles we decided to continue on the road.  This was a good move as we came across a lovely cafe, called The Honey Pot, and Wow, it was open. We just had to stop. 

We arrived at Hokitika town and ready for another cycling day tomorrow towards the glaciers.
