New Zealand day 7 Moutain Biking



The first week finished almost! So I want do something active and I will cycle to Lyttelton! I ask an old man, Alexander, to borrow his bike. It was possible to borrow the bike. I will making me read for go! Thus I am going to cycle and I will cycle through Sumner where I have been already. Starting with cycling and I cycling against the wind with was a little bit a pity, because I want to be quick in Lyttelton! So as quick as I am, I will be in Lyttelton in one and a half hour. After an half hour to cycle to Sumner I get to road block. This is a pity and I starting to ask people how I come to Lyttelton. The first person tells me to go over the bridge and go to the left. So I don't know which bridge see meant but I will take a stop at a bus stop to look at the map where I can cycle to Lyttelton.  On the map I have to go to the 'pleasent mt road' and then go left to the 'summit road'. I thought "oooohhh it is to easy to come in Lyttelton".

When I start the journey at the pleasent mt road by bike, I start to climb. It looks like a tour the france or something like that. It was very tough to come to the summit road and the journey takes some more minutes then I have expected. But I should be going further on and make some pictures during the bike tour. It is incredible how the sight changes if you bicycle up to the hill with a hardly wind. The wind blows so hard that you hear him scream above you and I almost fall off my bike. So I make some stops to enjoy the sight as well and taking some rest! After a half hour that I am cycling I meet an old man. So we have some small talk and it is very fun to cycle with someone! I enjoy it very much and we are heading to the top of the hill. But again the road is closed. Again I have a bad feeling that I cannot making it to Lyttelton but the most positive person on this earth (I :p) says "we are going for the top no matters what happenend and we can enjoy the sight!". I have to go on and finally reached the top of the hill that used to be a vulcano.



At the top of the hill I went to a place where I can look to Lyttelton so I can reach my goal for that day. Even I don't actualy be there, but I have seen it and that's making my day happy on a vulcano!
Standing right on the vulcano spot isn't something to being afraid off, but the vulcano isn't active at the moment or is sleeping. An old man says: the sleepy vulcano can become active when there will be an big earthquake. The earthquake was predicted one honderd years ago what means that the vulcano is one honderd over due with becoming active.
At the top of this sleepy vulcano is the sight unbelievable gorgeous  and I like to bike a lot! Probably I will bike in New Zealand a lot!
