DAY 1: ON THE ROAD, AUCKLAND TO HAMILTON

left auckland early tuesday morning (monday morning in the u.s.) from claire's house and set out for the 130km ride to hamilton.. it took me about 9 hours and i felt really fresh.. wasnt that scenic but still some really pretty sights.. i took the main highway 1, and a lot of cyclists here advised me to stay off of the main highways because they were dangerous, but i found them actually really nice and bike friendly with big shoulders and little traffic.. (for 'dangerous' see: anywhere in new jersey!!) anyway i made it to my host stephen's house who i met through warmshowers (a website for touring cyclists), and also i went to a vegan potluck with a friend i met in auckland the day previous..
