Today was one of the 1st days I didn’t worry about alarms or schedules. But still managed to wake up 6.30am. Apart from Kere having getting up & leaving before I woke up, I was the first awake.

Today was a life admin day. Drying out all the wet gear from yesterday & reorganising for the next few days.

Jodi lent us her car & we took off into Kerikeri township just after 11 to pick up bits & pieces from Hunting & fishing, Rebel sports & some shopping at the local New World for tonight’s bbq. Then a quick bite for lunch at McDonald’s.

With today’s shopping we bought some more creamed corn, asparagus & white bread for mum & I took those down to her place & enjoyed a nice cup of tea. Mum made more corn fritters & asparagus rolls for all our lunches tomorrow. So looking forward to lunch tomorrow!

Later on in the evening we had a bbq, a big shout out to Ohaeawai Butchery for providing the hiking team with some of their tasty sausages!

It’s been amazing spending time with Jodi, Kere & my nephews & niece. Always awesome to spend time with family!

Looking forward to getting back on the trail tomorrow & doing an easy 24km to Andrew & Rosie’s cottage.
