The end is near! Actually the end is here, I got home today before I even left (departed Christchurch Friday @ 10:30am and got to Los Angeles on Friday @ 6:30am ). Thursday was my last riding day and I left Lake Tekapo in the morning under sunny skies but they were short lived. I had rain pretty much all the way into Christchurch and the scenic inland route 72  through the Canterbury Plains is primarily flat and straight. I passed through  a number of small towns in route thinking of all that I had experienced in that last 12 days  not ready for it to end. By the time I got to Christchurch the rain had stopped and I found some lunch and had a nice time walking around the city center.  Then it was time to get back to South Pacific Motorbike Tours to return the bike. It was like leaving an old friend turning in the keys. I thoroughly enjoyed New Zealand and highly recommend the good folks at South Pacific Motorbike Tours. I hope to get back soon as 13 days was not nearly enough time to cover the South island and I have yet to ride any of the North island!
Cheers Bill
