Weather not good. Terrible, in fact. Torrential rainfall. Hideous day to be cycling. And alas, the weather forecast for tomorrow is just as bad, which is particularly unfortunate because there is supposedly a pretty good farmer's market in the next town, only 28km away. But, as always in New Zealand, there is a solution: mass transport by train! It was about a 20min train ride to Blenheim.
For the first time here I had trouble finding a bed in a hostel. The first place I looked at was full, but there was a free bed at the second, so it wasn't very much trouble. There are a lot of vineyards in this region, so there are a lot of backpackers working on them. Apparently it's not harvesting time yet; everyone is working on pruning the bushes. I couldn't give any useful tips this time.
