A very nice ride towards Mt Cook from Hoki. I can't remember any significant hills, though there was a few small climbs.
We had a nice lunch stop at Hari Hari, the landing location of the first trans Tasman flight made in 1929 from Sydney ending with a crash landing in a swamp.
We changed drivers, Rex drove and Bob got the tandem out and rode with Dave.
We felt quite tired when we arrived at Franz later in the afternoon.
