Queensland Australia is under water right now so naturally we have been trying to go north to Byron Bay and surprisingly all the roads are closed and we can go nowhere and this was our plan for the remainder of our time in Australia. So we are running away to the safety of New Zealand! We now are going to have another month of time over there which should be pretty sweet but if we follow our plan that we have formulated it is going to be really intense. We are going to be there for about 3 months and in that time we are essentially doing nothing but bike touring, backpacking and river rafting. We will all be jacked by the time it is done! We are doing multiple 5 to 10 day backpacking trips and many shorter ones, running rivers in Rotorua and hopefully the Perth River on the South Island, and riding tour bikes from Queenstown to Nelson. Also taking a surfing break in Raglan.
I would like to say that I am totally healthy before embarking on this but I attempted a mighty feet of jumping over a saggy volleyball net on Manly beach the other day and failed. I now have a volleyball size bruise on my thigh as a result of the gnarliest dead leg of all time. But it is ok because I looked really cool doing it.
We are all stoked on this change and we are leaving this Friday the 15th to fly over and leave civilization for a while. Hope everybody is well!!
