Sailing downtime
This we take to the road and skies.
– Rob survives another epic off road motorbike tour, just
– We make our way down to beautiful Twizel in The South Island for some sightseeing at Tasman lakes and the Omarama Clay Cliffs

All this and the giant jersey of Geraldine. Wow action packed!
