Simply cycling around
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 :-)
I’m on the way to Milford sound today. I let my tent and some stuff to the doc campsite to be as light as possible and make my way up easier. I’m on the top of the first big hill and the next one, to reach the tunnel, is much higher. Should be OK :-)
Ouhaaa! We had a good peaceful night and I could sleep 2 hours more but the boat has to be ready for the next group and they told us that If we stayed longer in the bed they we come and do the bed with us inside! I didn’t want to try so wake up! It’s 7:30 :-)
Here we are! The first day off our Doubtful sound trip :-) it’s going to be amazing! The weather is not to bad and we will pass the night on the boat and we should do some kayaking today or tomorrow :-)
