By the Numbers
Stats for the 3rd Week (1.15.2006 – 1.21.2006):
Aussie Bay -> Motueka
5 days cycling with 1 easy/rest day
2 days tramping
219.29km (43.86km / cycling day)
NZ$459.22 (NZ$65.60 / day)
14 hours, 9 minutes, 1 second in the saddle
42km of tramping in ~12 hours
We have been pretty consistent in our daily spending at around NZ$65 per day which is approximately US$46. That comes in right under our budget of US$50, but when you add in the gear we have purchased here, transportation costs, and other miscellaneous expenses we are up at US$65 per day. Whoa nellie! We may need to curb our ice cream habit. In addition to costing us money, its getting a little embarassing as tonight Sarah beat a group of children in a sprint to the ice cream truck as it passed through the holiday park. We did get to try a Mr. Whippy though. Sort of like Dairy Queen but a little creamier.

Sarah,
That looks like a DOUBLE Mr. Whippy!
