There was little traffic during the night and I slept well. It was a little cool in the morning and I even wore my jumper for a while. (I've only used it twice and it takes up a lot of space, so I will give it to Serena when I see her tomorrow.)
He looked familiar and then I remembered I had seen him on Graham's journal.
The topography was mostly flat and there was little wind. It was hot yet I still made pretty good time.
10kms before I arrived in Wellington, were the Wellington Caves.
This is a Diprotodon. It was first discovered in the Caves in 1830. It became extinct only 44,000 years ago.
I went on a small guided walk in the Cathedral Cave.
The cave was used as a church and one of the stalagmites was used as an altar. The altar was last used in the 1960's.
It was a mild 18C in the cave. When I came outside it was 32C. It was a hot ride into Wellington.
Today's ride: 75 km (47 miles)
Total: 390 km (242 miles)
