Day 48

Arrowtown to Cromwell 57km

It rained throughout the night and continued steadily into the morning. I thought perhaps the day of cycling in the rain had finally arrived. I dallied about the campsite, spending along time with breakfast then catching up on the blog and by the time I left the clouds had lifted and it was yet another beautiful day on the south island. I must say however the route from Arrowtown to Cromwell was not my favorite. The river gorge was pretty enough (and downhill!) but this is also the main route from Christchurch to Queenstown and it was a day of fast trucks and tourist buses. I was glad to end the day and look forward to reaching the start of the central Otago rail trail tomorrow.
