Back in Black
Yet again I have taken to road by cycle, a black BMW 650 GS adventure touring motorcycle. It makes a mockery of my former futile touring efforts, easily cranking out 300 kms in a day. Certainly quite a bit of the astounding scenery, though no time just yet to give it a sufficient blogging. One week left to cover 3/4 of the south island (its taken 5 just to do 1/4).
One quick note, the "city" of Westport (pop 4000) is worth the trip for the public restrooms alone. Push-button convenience and space age technology combine in a delightful marraige of happy toiletting: push a button to magnetically seal the door (red flashing L.E.D.s warn would be interrupters of work in progress), push a button to dispense a perfectly metered amount toilet paper. Motion sensors dispense hand soap, run the water, and blow dry your hands. Once you start washing your hands, the toilet flushes (linked to the motion sensors). However, it should warn that a thorough washing of the hands will also result in a thorough flushing of the toilet. Its a wonder its not on the postcards.
