Day 2 was to start at 6am but woke up early and was packed and away by 5:30am. First stop was going to be mystery location #1 and the bridge. Got there and it was still dark so had a bit of problem getting a good photo. Wasn\u2019t going to wait the 45 minutes for sun rise so it would have to do.<\/p>\n

Next stop would be Ngamatea Station. Only 500 points but it was on the road I was on anyway. Same for Kuripapango.<\/p>\n

Te Mata Peak was next and was looking forward to this one. There was a fair number of people running and exercising up there. Must have been sadists. Excellent views of the surrounding country side as well.<\/p>\n

Was now in Wellington quite early and needed to be at 1579kms knocked off. Was a bit short so went for a ride up the SH1 motorway and back to add a further 70kms just to ensure I had enough.
\nCruised into the Bluebridge ferry terminal which I had booked so long ago and waited about 2 hours until I was allowed to board early and claim my cabin for the nice sleep over. By this time there was quite a group of us all heading over with the same idea.
\nGot my head down by about 12am to grab a nice 5 hours sleep before the 3rd and final day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
