Nikau Cove back to Picton

Friday May 18, 2018, 34 miles (54 km) - Total so far: 4,626 miles (7,444

km)

We had thought we'd only return as far as Linkwater, with the option of cosy cabins at Smith's Farm camp ground. However, the cabins were actually more expensive than a backpackers dorm bed.....so we opted to ride all the way back to Picton. Somehow it felt less arduous than the previous day, even though one of the significant hills is certainly steeper in this direction!

The lure of chocolate pudding back at Sequioa Lodge was too much....and well worth it :)
