Hohoo, we just start the morning by a rainbow :-) but it’s slightly raining in this moment. Hope we can move today because we don’t have so much food left.

St Arnaud > Rainbow track hut (67km, 5h30, 1068m)
Today we are going on the Rainbow track. It’s a track of 120km which pass by the middle of south island toward Hammer Springs. We should do it in two days if the weather is nice with us. I’m just a bit worried about something… If it’s called “rainbow track” that means there is rain… Aïe…
Renwick > St Arnaud (68km, 5h30)
Today, the sun came back, finally! We are almost ready to go but before, a visit around the backpacker :-) The kitchen is nice, clean and useful. I made some bread yesterday so we will have something good to eat later.
Anakiwa > Renwick (48km, 2h20)
This night was good but so windy. I even have dreamed that the shelter was blower up by the wind. Now it’s raining and it’s difficult to find the motivation for going out, take the bikes and continue travelling…
Wellington > Picton (by ferry) > Anakiwa (21km, 1h24)
Hey, it’s 7am and I’ve just arrived to the blue bridge ferry company. Today I’m going to south island where I’m gonna spend at least 5 months.

Following Napier’s friend to Wellington for New years eve
Featherston > Wellington (50km, 3h)
Today for the first time I’m going to take the train. In fact, between Featherston and Upper Hurt stands a big hill (600m). The road is narrow, in a windy gorge with many cars. Different people advised me to catch the train so, yes, I will. And it’s change, I like that :-) At 7am, it’s maybe a good time to cross the road but be careful okay?.
