Planes, Trains and Bicycles (and Hotels)

Planes
I saw Chaucey for dinner on Friday, it was kinda weird to see her arrive at the airport then leave later on - we managed to entertain all the passengers on the flight by blowing kisses and playing games through the glass in the waiting lounge.

Trains and Bicycles
Today I biked from Harcourt Park to Hikiokio Reserve - a mere 25km as part of the WRC Bike the Trail event. My sister Catherine had registered for the event (her name was above mine on the list) but I didn't see her or Norm.

I caught the train from Epuni (the guard didn't charge for the bicycle, saving $4) and cycled to Harcourt Park through Totara Park, and then cycled home afterwards. Total distance 40km, done in just under 2 hours.

Trains and Hotels
I also managed to get a lot more done for the honeymoon planning - I've now booked accomodation for:

Dartmoor, Prague, Krakow, Vienna, Salzburg and Venice. We're staying with friends in London and Chaucey's brother in Manchester. All I've got left to take care of is Edinburgh, York, Rome and Paris.

Gareth from House of Travel Plimmer Steps has found a good railpass for us - $630 each for 5 days travel in 5 countries. Matches our needs exactly.
