Christchurch, lazy day off

Today, nooothing! We need to get dry and use all the stuff around us : kitchen, toilets, showers, tea, shops… We deserve it after all that rain! This backpacker is nice and warm. It’s a house Napier and not a factory making money like Wellington. We are maybe 20 people here and it’s cool :-). This is the kitchen.

Balcairn > Christchurch (39km, 1h45)

Today starts very bad. Since 6am maybe it’s raining and it doesn’t seems to stopped… We are stuck in our tent because almost all our clothes are wet. We don’t have water and just some food for the day.

Hanmer Springs > Balcairn (94km, 6h)

Today is a bit better than yesterday. We had a quiet night even if I didn’t sleep so well because I was aware about any strange noise. And we were three tents so it was easy to see us. But nothing happened and we are now in the city centre again to find a place to eat.

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.
