Made it to lodge which will be our base for the next three months. Went for a huge ride yesterday and explored the property.

We start work tomorrow so that's going to be a shock to the system especially as we have to climb 400 vertical metres to work on our bikes everyday (1hr of riding) :s

Had the weekend to recover from jetlag etc and been mucking around on the bike. Where we are staying looks like the South Island of NZ would have looked like before it was colonised, it's pretty awesome.

That's all for now, will fill you guys in at the end of the week :)
