Mountains to Sea.

 An gentle ride yesterday afternoon...to the Sea end of the Mountains to Sea trail..then back into town up the trail, by the river. Across town along the bike route and back up to our coach's home again.

We stopped by the library in Castlecliff again...some bike trail themed gates...

And a beautiful sky

Any excuse to stop for an "ice block"!! (Ice lolly)

Then to find the trail...

The river is flowing to the right....and the waves were quite active outside the South Mole.

The trail actually ends on the North Mole, but they are working on that.

That is the North Mole on the right...and then looking back up the river by the Port...

You have to go on the road until after the Port, but the path then mostly follows the river and is 2m wide concrete, some of it up on a stop bank.

And  sitting on our car waiting for us .....

Not quite a dragon!...a praying mantis.
