An afternoon cycle south to Paekakariki. Taking Mischa's bike for a run. It's more powerful than mine, that's new ebike technology. And just being new of course - mine's about six years old now.
The view of Kapiti Island from the US marines memorial lookout in QE2 park. In WW2 there were about 20,000 marines camped at the coast here, for training and R&R. They had exercises around the area and practised landings on the beach.
It's much more peaceful now.
From the memorial lookout, with the sea behind me, that is where the US camp sprawled across the bottom of the hills, where the red roofed buildings are.
And from the lookout, the view south back to Paekakariki. South Island on the horizon.
