Today I am sitting out the bad weather. There is supposed to be a lot of rain coming through so I am just going to hang here & watch a whole lot of Netflix that I downloaded when I was back in reception.

The day was spent doing just that with even an afternoon nap. At about 4:30pm I had my first hut mate turn up. Patrick is from Sweden & has walked the crap weather today.

Not long after him Coral from Wanaka turned up, she is section hiking at the moment.

Half an hour later Felix & Laura turned up. They met on the trail & are a couple.

We sat & chatted for the afternoon, sharing out trail stories. It’s been nice having another rest day & although this is all coming to an end soon I am glad for it as I feel like I’m almost done physically & mentally.

Looking forward to hitting the finish line next Saturday!
