Awesome clicks. This reminds me of the MRF Supercross championship which was held in Hyderabad.

I just love the roads. I wish we have such roads some day in India. Internet for $3/hr = Rs150. That's quite expensive.

Hmm.. natural boiling waters. Never seen that. I cannot read the text properly. Can you change the font color to black?

The place is so clean and green. You must have loved riding there.

Do people live in NZ? I cannot see a single soul around in your pics.

Ah atlast, saw some people. Btw what are those blue patches on the road?

The beach is too good!

Wow. So many bikes at one place. Must have been a good sight.

Today started off a as a very bad day. I was heading from Nelson towards Collingwood in the north when a cop in an unmarked car coming from the opposite side pulled me over for over speeding. He alleged that I was doing 119km/h in a 100km/h zone. I argued that I was overtaking some vehicles on a straight empty road and I needed to be momentarily at high speed and was deaccelerating. He would have none of that and gave me a $120 fine. Usually cops in unmarked cars would follow you a while before they book you. He went off saying that many motorbikers die on this highway and they were doing what they can to stop it. In my case it was a plain simple case of fund raising, which I realized was a major part of their job as well. On a 1400cc bike I may well be doing 150kmph instead of being just 19kmph over the speed limit to get the thrills on an empty road. But anyways I will be putting forward my appeal in Wellington.

So I was in a bad mood. I decided to chuck the one way route to Collingwood and head off for Greymouth instead of the nearer Westport. This would shave off some kays from tomorrow’s ride which was supposed to be 640kms. I retraced some kays back from north towards Motueka where I took a turn on the Motueka Valley highway. The road was quite scenic and helped me get over the rip off on the morning. Anyways this time I kept it slow and between 100kmph and 110.

On the way I stopped at Paparoa National Park which had no cell signal. It was the home of the pancake rocks and blowholes. The entry was free and I decided to see it. It was quite amazing with all the natural rock formations, greenery and the sea. I arrived in Greymouth at 8 PM and had a view of a nice sunset and end of a bad day which turned out very good.
