NZ 2 North

From Hamilton, we took the bus until National Park. After the legendary Tongariro Trail, we cycled further down towards Raetihi and Wanganui (following the river trail - gorgeous ride !!). From Wanganui to Palmerston North where we took the train to Wellington. From Wanganui to Wellington, the coastal highway is very very dense, so we wanted to avoid it. From Palmerston, there's an alternative route over the mountain range, but not for 90 kg tandems (30 kg child + 30 kg bags + 30 kg bike).
