Frosty the Snowman

No, we did not have snow this morning, but man was it frosty!!! The windscreen on the van also had a light covering of frost on it. I can assure my readers that we never tarried getting dressed after our showers.
In one sense, we were sorry to be leaving Foxton. The FC spot we had was great and generally quiet. It was shattered last night for a time when a car arrived around 10pm and the occupants must sadly 😥 have suffered from a hearing impairment because their radio was booming!
We set off for Palmerston North as the Tour guide wanted to redo a river ride there (some pics attached). We parked the van and got out to unload the bikes. I, being of sound mind, knew immediately that to ride in such freezing conditions was madness 😠 with the gusty winds adding another unpleasant factor. The Tour guide however was determined as she is made of very tough stuff. Being the gentleman that I am, I released her to follow her unbridled passion.
Her return was welcomed, because by that time, it was lunchtime. Nice toasted sandwiches were produced. The Tour guide is an absolute wizz in the kitchen!! 😋.
After this we set off for Turangi which was quite a drive. We were going to do a cycle ride in the morning here but now even the Tour guide has determined that it will be way too cold here in the morning to do it, so the idea stays in the bucket list for a warmer temperatures.
Our itinerary is ever changing which is what being on holiday is all about. So the plan now, is to go home tomorrow, off load the bikes, and get a power adaptor. If very fortunate, we may also purchase a replacement toilet cassette as sadly 😥 our current one is leaking, 😳 and after we had paid a few hundred dollars to get it repaired some months back. This is the first time we have used it since the 'repair' 😠.
After all that we are planning on heading north again 😀.Read more
