Had an awesome, peaceful ride into Queenstown yesterday afternoon. Hills were undulating, but enjoyable. I didn't have to consult with granny gear AT ALL, woohoo! Any day that happens is a good day. There weren't many cars going my way and the worst thing that happened was glancing up around a bend and seeing a caravan coming straight towards me - in my lane! Don't pass on curves!!! I thought that was common knowledge. But no damage done. Had a yummy lunch at the 25k mark, overlooking Queenstown and the surrounding mountains. Spent most of the ride letting my mind wander. To WWOOFING possibilities at a wildlife sanctuary outside Mt. Field National Park. To hiking at Lake St. Clair Ntl. Park. To my time in Strahan. But largely just enjoying cycling in such a beautiful area. Arrived in Q.town around 4:15 and met up with Raymond, a friend of Dianne's, at his art gallery. We walked up to my "home" for the next two nights, his mom's house, which I have to myself. I am meeting up with Raymond and Helena for dinner at 7:30. And then bed. Yay, another real bed.
