Day 5: Geraldine
Journal for 2014-10-24 | Published on 2014-10-26 01:19:01Well, we had every intention of heading out to Fairlie today, but we got exactly 2 km down the road, and Pam’s knee was really hurting. Sharp pains. Uh, oh. Not good. So, we turned around and found a hotel that would let us check in at 10 am, and we proceeded to rest. We got takeout (Chinese), and watched a few movies, and Pam tried not to move her knee at all. We went to bed hopeful that our journey would be continuing on Friday.
Both of us knew that we hadn’t put the training in to preparing for this tour that we should have. So part of dealing with that is that we are going to have to take it slower and take some more down time during this touring then our last. However we also both agreed that this tour is about seeing things, not making mileage goals.
So glad that y'all are listening to your bodies, taking it slower and in turn, enjoying NZ probably more!
Yeah, sometimes it's hard to slow down, but it's worth it in the end. And we must be doing something right because we sure are enjoying ourselves!
