Simply cycling around
It’s a wonderful day today and I can’t stay more inside. I will finish to update my blog later because now I want to visit two places : The glacier and lake Mathewson from where we are able to see Aoraki/Mt Cook. It s a long time now, I’ve seen the highest mountain of south island :-) And it’s a good opportunity as well :-) let’s go!
Hey, yesterday I wanted to take a picture of the hot pools but the battery of my Gopro was empty just at the wrong time. This battery is so short! Maybe 40 minutes. Anyway, today, I’m going to walk down the same 18km and reach Fox glacier which is 26 km away from the star of the Coplan track.
Yesterday I met Chris, a guy from south Africa. He is in NZ since three weeks and he is going to do the Coplan track. This walkway inside the Southern Also is on my way so I’ve decided to do it has well :-) why not?! It’s 18km to reach a hut and we have to come back by the same way. The track looks much easier than the Hump ridge one. This time, I will tie my shoes!
Since yesterday, I’ve got a toothache getting stronger and stronger. I’m a bit worried and Sally propose me to go with her to Invercargill. She has to do some things and it’s a good opportunity for me. We took a rendez vous. I just have to find the place. Thank you Sally :-)
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 :-)
