Coast to Coast...

 There certainly are some pretty things to look at on the west coast of the south island.  The pancake rocks of geologically mysterious proportions here are made of limestone and are ever changing in the beautiful but powerful and unforgiving sea.

And, here some tall grasses between the pancakes and the mountain forests on the same west coast blow in the wind.  I think the wind never ceases here.  Some of the trees in just a light, light breeze look as thought they are blowing in the fiercest of hurricane wind.  Everywhere you look, here in New Zealand,  there is something quite beautiful and something quite comical as well.

I hitchhiked from the west coast to Marlborough about a week ago now.  It was a fun adventure, met some nice people but, since then, I have gotten a new mode of transport.  I borrow a nice road bike from a friend and have been doing many-a-many tasting of the wine with this puppy!

This is what I bike through and past everyday....beautiful Marlborough and its wonderful...everything...
