Simply cycling around
Today, I’m ready to continue my trip toward Riverton. I could arrived today because it’s not so far finally but I want to stop in that free campsite front of Monkey island. And it’s raining so I hope the weather will be better tomorrow.
OK, now I know why it was painful yesterday and the second day… This day, I’m doing nothing, just writing my blog, eating, watch a movie. Some guy put Forest Gump tonight and it was nice to see that movie again :-)
Relax :-) cool :-) Tiousse!
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 :-)
Roooh! My feet are sour this morning… I hope it going to be better because now… I’ve certainly walked too fast yesterday. And I’ve forgot to tide my shoes correctly also. Maybe that’s it. I will slow down today. I’m going to reach the sea level again so I’ve got a long way front of me.
Today is a marvellous day and I’m very lucky! I’m going up to the Ōkaka hut to pass the night but before I must walk 18 km. And before that I must cycle 22km until the car park. During the high season there is a shuttle service but not now. That’s OK :-)
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 :-)
I found my tent and everything in it yesterday, cool! I’m coming back to Te Anau for the night to the same spot I found last time. It was a good one :-)
