Following Napier’s friend to Wellington for New years eve
Category: North Island
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?.
Featherston, day off
At the beginning, I thought I could pass a good day here but now it’s windy, rainy and sunny in the same time. The rain come from the west and the sun heat the tent from the east. I can go outside but it’s so hot inside! Rah!
Eketahuna > Featherston (84km, 3h52)
Today is getting nicer. The weather is not to bad and I know I will find a free campsite in Featherston. And I’m faster than I expected. We are 29th so I will certainly have one day off in the camp next to the lake. Nice :-)
Takapau > Eketahuna (105km, 5h12)
Today, like yesterday, it’s grey… I had a good and quiet sleep onto my new bloody expensive mattrees and I’m ready to continue my trip toward Wellington.
Napier > Takapau (89km, 5h)
And that’s it, this is the end of Napier where I could never imagine have a good time like that. I met so many nice people and we were really like a big team. I really enjoy those 6 weeks here but today I leave. It’s difficult but I hope we will see each other again in south island. Good buy everybody! I miss you all already…
Napier, we won’t forget!
I’m going to leave Napier tomorrow and to remember one more time all the good time we passed here, let’s have some last picture :-) Wenshan, you are almost as tall as me, almost sorry haha :-)
