Karaka Bay.

All bikes packed and ready to go.
An excellent indian meal in Wellington, before an early night.
Quick drive up Mt Victoria for a night time view of Wellington.



Ferry depart 8am, so early rise as we need to be at ferry terminal by 7am!
Overcast and windy, but better weather forecast for South Island. Will be cool, but should be mainly dry!
Fingers crossed.
