The evidence that we have gone a little more Kiwi.
We are now proud owners of a tow bar. It was attached not long before the off, along with the impressive bike carrier in order to take the bikes away with us. We had to borrow a bike for EQ in order to make the most of the carrier investment. Of course my new mean machine was great to take away-though the paint work was damaged with all the travelling-now not quite such a lovely specimen. On reflection I think it was worthwhile to take the bikes; they were used and enjoyed, though less so by Isaac. Apparently, his gave him backache. To be fair, the bike is somewhat small for him now.
PS. Isaac has done a post regarding the holiday, and would like you to read it.
