Day 8 - Lake Tennyson - Hanmer Springs
Our final breakfast of porridge was consumed early & we hit the road for a quick 40km ride heading towards Hanmer wanting to arrive at lunchtime so we had time for a soak in the hot pools.
The road was much rougher than we had anticipated as this road is obviously used a lot by cars. We still managed to make excellent time knocking the distance out in about 2 hours. The descent down the Hanmer side of Jacks Pass blew both of us away - it is a long way, no wonder we struggled up it a week earlier!
We headed straight to the Campground to find our van safe and sound.
From there we went for another pie and a custard and chocolate scroll, YUMMY. We then soaked away our aches and pains for a while before hitting the road again.
It was nice to arrive home, but we were both sad to be finished our first cycle tour together.
Technical ride details are lost, presumed dead!
