One of our most memorable guests to date would have to be the lovely Tracy from Wigan UK. Tracy booked in for 3 nights and 3 weeks later there she was still here glass of wine in one hand, bike pump in the other. During her stay Tracy decided to forego the bus and bike her way around the South Island. Not an easy task for the most experienced biker, but Tracy seemed unfazed by the undertaking and set about planning her trip and sorting out her biking gears, starting with a shiney new mountain bike! A glorious bike indeed, however, as a slightly more seasoned biker pointed out to her-it was perhaps the wrong choice for road riding...Luckily This too did not faze her and she continued her planning, and plotting. All best laid plans are hatched over a few cheeky wines, which led to Tracy's "extended" stay:) Every morning we would anxiously see her off, only to be happily surprised to see her smiling face upon our return home at the end of the day! It was a sad, sad day when you finally left us Tracy, we'll continue to leave the porch light on for you. And to the rest of you driving maddly around them windy South Island roads, slow down and keep yer eyes peeled for a mad British girl peddling a mountain bike saddled down with wine bottles:)
