The ride along the coast would have to be one of my favorites.

Make sure all your rain gear is tight and rain proof!

Hope yours is going better than mine. Me & the Thunderbird are stuck in the Picton Bluebridge Ferry line, boat 2.5 hours late. Was heading to New Plmouth tonight, looks like it will be an unscheduled stay in Wellywood instead.
