Another nice easy morning, watching the news on Cyclone Gabriel & the damage it’s caused for the far north so far.

We are expecting a bit of wind here this afternoon/evening.

Today I’m going to finish my video for the 1st section of the South island & post it & heading into town to organise the last of my supplies needed. I also need to post stuff back home that is excess.

We went into town & on the way there stopped off at Gearshop to see if I can get some more Wright socks. They are now a retail store! I plan to go back in on Thursday for a look around. I also bought Aunty B some flowers, wine & chocolates from both myself & Antonia as it’s Valentine’s Day & just a thank you for putting me up.

I spent some of the afternoon mindlessly scrolling on my phone, making my next video (below) & watching tv.

Aunty Briar made very nice chicken burgers for dinner, then we watched tv & had an ice cream each for dessert.

Tomorrow Zhan is going to drop me at my start point on his way to work & I will walk as far as I can until he drives past again about 5 or 6 hours later. Hoping to get around 25kms done. The weather is looking fairly good tomorrow, maybe just a little windy.
