Tuesday 25th February - Alexandra to Omakau

We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast with Beth in her kitchen.  We could easily have stayed chatting with her all day, but we needed to move on. So after a quick chat on Skype with home we got on our way along the trail. The 20 miles were completed along the easy cycle trail today. The surface was reasonable and the ride had a lovely cafe at Chatto Creek cafe, close to the half way point. http://www.chattocreektavern.co.nz/  It had a real cyclists buzz with cyclists coming and going all the time we were there.  We are camping once again, at the Omakau Domain campsite just outside the village, very good value and great kitchen facilities.
