Cycling: Dunedin to Invercargill

After Dunedin, the roads became much quieter, and cycling was a real pleasure.  I was greatly entertained to go through Brighton.  The landscape was farmland with small towns - where agricultural supplies shops where just as common as a chemists or banks.  People too seemed to get friendlier as we travelled south.  We had some really beautiful days biking, rolling terrain, golden landscapes with so much greenery - and all the farms seemed so productive, but a lot less 'industrial' compared to those on the Canterbury plains near Christchurch.  Invercargill, we reached after an amazing day of 110km (we had tailwinds the whole way) but we rolled up in the rain.  We enjoyed a day looking around the museum - lots of pictures and the bike from the film of the Worlds Fastest Indian; and as seems fairly normal for New Zealand a super public park.
