I was looking forward to a sleep in this morning, unfortunately my brain & body had other ideas & I was awake & up before 6am. Today is about life admin & I plan to go in to town to get a few things, I’m also going to take Kevin with me & help him buy a new tent as his one is now broken (hence the trail name!)
Kevin got a Nemo Hornet 2P, so much better than his 1P coffin tent! I also shouted him a pair of crocs from the warehouse as he only had his boots & no footwear for when not walking.
The rest of the day was spent doing admin, making my next video (chapter 3) & dad & Andrea arrived about 3pm so was good to just catch up with them.
We cooked a roast dinner & the 6 of us sat down to enjoy this with a wine & beer.
Kevin, Marko, Ayumi, Nici, Gemma & Nichola did a half day today & walked to Ruakaka campground, where Kevin got to use his new tent!
Tomorrow we are aiming for a 30km + day to get to Waipu cove & be picked up by dad that afternoon. This means light packs! Hoping for an easy one…..
