Day 14, Atene – Pipiriki (about 42km)
Terrific landcapes between high hills along the
Whanganui River and Rain Forest. Once again, it looks like a jungle. The
landscape make me think about the movie Jurassik Park. We can easily imagine that
65 million years ago, dinosaurs used to live here.
During the ride, there are some serious steep
but it’s often rewarded by beautiful lookouts and nice downhills.
We stop today in the small village of Pipiriki,
which is very little. By the way, we decide to have a swim in the Whanganui
River, right next to the village. The water is quite cold but this bath is
however pleasant.
Tonight, we sleep in a pretty nice
and peaceful campground. Far from pollution.
