The big bike trip – Day 2

On the road again…

There were a few good twisties along the way today, making good progress to Melbourne.

Today we have stopped at: Gilgandra
Been passed Gilagndra a few time before, but never stayed the night.

Made a few rest stops along the way, mostly to keep my sanity and rest is good when riding a bike.

Bikes at Bingara

I purchased some more sugar today in the hope that I won’t fall asleep. I did get a good night sleep out at Texas though I still found myself wanting to dose. So extra rests stops were required to refuel the human driver.

Charging system on my bike is working well at this stage, Josh is having some issues with his but I think that’s more to do with the bag mount than the system it’s self.

In the attempt to get some rest I will sign off with today’s map for everyone!

Hobbition

Well I haven’t updated this page in awhile so lets add some more pics!
I visited Hobbiton today after a early rise and running out the door to catch the bus. (~2hr Journey one way from Auckland)
It was well worth the effort on getting up early as I was able to get many shots with no people in them, so I must thank the tour company for insisting that I should really get up early.
It is amazing the detail in each of the hobbit holes, all in all a good trip!


Best man speech

Dear internet, please send comments to lhovo on twitter..
Thanks

As we gather to honour the marriage of Anthony and Clarissa, I look out over a sea of familiar faces. Many I recognise from the years Anthony and I attended University. Their presence here speaks volumes about the kind of people Anthony and Clarissa are. When your university friends travel thousands of miles to be with you on the most important day of your life, it can only mean one thing: they heard about the free beer.

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Luke. I’ve been Anthony’s best friend for nearly 10 years.

We meet on the first day of University; and moved on through the ranks together to the final graduation day.

Throughout our university days we shared our passion for the great outdoors, this includes hiking sailing and my favorite activity, setting up wireless networks in tall trees.

Communication is one of the most important thing in a marriage, Anthony and Clarissa have always been know to practice there communication skills in the car all the time.
As anyone who has travel with Anthony and lived can testify.

So although I’m not actually married myself [turn to bridesmaids], I thought it might be helpful if I offered them each a little piece of advice.

Clarissa: you can either tell Anthony to do something or tell him how to do something. But please, not both.

And Anthony: Just think, if it weren’t for marriage, men would go through life thinking they had no faults at all.

[[ Toast ]]

May your love be modern enough to survive the times, but old fashioned enough to last forever.

I’m sure you’re going to be happy together, and I speak for everybody here when I say I wish you both the very best for your future life together.
