Hey, today is finally sunny and I’m one more time lucky :-) I’m going toward Riverton and I’ve got plenty of time because it’s not too far. I start the day by visiting Colac bay, a nice place where the Simpsons and and… Rah! I’ve forgotten their name. Anyway, they live together in a bus! I didn’t know that.

Tuatapere > Monkey island (25km, 1h30)
Tatuapere, day off
Port Craig hut > Hump Ridge Track > Tatuapere (17km walk, 5h + 24km cycle, 2h)
During all the day, I’ve felt a hard pain on my feet. I’ve never walk like this before and without training, 3 days it’s long! I’ m going to have one day off in Tatuapere to get more energy.
I’ve met Sally again today. She is walking so fast, even her dog! When I told her I was going to pass Riverton, she gave me here address in case they were here when I will reach the city. It’s nice :-) I don’t know when I will be there but it could be a nice experience. We never know :-)

Tuatapere > Rarākau carpark (22km cycle, 1h15) > Hump Ridge Track > Ōkaka hut (18km walk, 6h15)
Te Anau > Tatuapere (104km, 5h20)
OK, today should be a looong day. I’ve planned to go to Tatuapere but it’s more than 100km away from Te Anau. I want to do that and be able to start the Hump Ridge track tomorrow. My last boss from Clyde Orchard, Kevin, told me a good thing about this one. And it’s still in the fiordland so I want to do it :-)
