Too soon and its all over, its time to go home.
This morning we were at a bit of a loss, finishing the ride in Paenaroa is convenient for Phil, but left us sitting in a one-hotel town with no transport, and nothing to do but organize a way of getting home. In hindsight, it would have been better to have organized transport to Auckland yesterday and have had an extra day in the city.
There are a myriad of little transport firms and mini-buses heading up and down along the coast, schedules and prices seemed arbitrary, and for a while we thought that we were going to have to hire a car to get us to Auckland — bicycles don't seem a popular luggage choice. One company quoted around $NZ400 to get us to Auckland!
Where?
Paengaroa, Auckland
