Day 4: Taylors Pass to Blenheim

We were up & away early today, both slept ok - noisy night of bird scarers going off all around us it felt like we were in the middle of a war zone at times!
Only a 30km ride in front of us today which turned out to be a really nice cruisy ride..
Only 1 biggish hill climb & the rest us a undulating road to Blenheim.
Arrived at the Blenheim Top 10 Campground at about 10am & were greeted by Chile who gave us hot drinks & home maid biscuits.
We found our campsite next to the river, had showers did laundry & just chilled out lying in the sun before heading into town to do some chores & have a bite to eat.
Subway & KFC Chips were on the menu for lunch today - The weather in Blenheim is amazing sunny blue sky so sitting in the sun eating lunch was just perfect.
It is nice to be having a day off just chilling out.
Dinner was a pizza & beers at a nice we pizza restaurant in town..
Hot spa was also on the menu for later that night.
