Thursday 3rd February
Morning! Oh how I miss my bed. Up and in the sea for a wakeup swim then breakfast cereal, latte and toasted tortilla with baked beans.
10:20am
Left Bark Bay and headed to Tonga Bay.
12:00pm
Arrived Tonga Bay - Toilet stop must tell you most of the toilets are all flush ones except the bee one!
Out with the first-aid kit to attend to my blisters with tape and plasters. Off again.
1:00pm
Arrived at Onetahuti crossing - Off with the shoes and socks again careful with the plasters. The sun came out hot today must be about 30deg C beating down and seemed to be a lot of uphill stuff and out in the open.
3.00pm
Arrived at a beer and wine and pizza shop in the middle of know where? (Awaroa) What a great marketing person who thought of it. Tables outside under umbrellas they were quite busy. Met a family from Dannevirke, 4 kids and Mr and Mrs Nice family. Had a beer with them and walked with them to their hut site I filled up with water and crossed the huge Awaroa inlet with bare feet and broken cockle shells for about an hour. Glad they had a toilet on the other side, dammed beer!
6:20pm 4.5HRS 13kms
Arrived at my last camp, second night. Went to set up tent and something moved in the bush. I thought it was a Possum so I moved. There was a German man there and I told him. Next thing he said there it is. I rushed to see but it was a Weka! Funny Possum.
Chicken and mushroom pasta for dinner tonight then bed. The night before I carefully looked all around inside the tent for mosquitos before I went to sleep. This night must have been to tired to see the little mongrel.
