Some down hill, cliff walk, beach walk and resupply
More beaches, rocky coastlines, muddy forest hikes, a korean hiking group which was impressed by the weight of the backpacks, a great pub, 8 km kayaking
Recover, relax, "Tramily" dinners, go shopping, spa day, new hairstyles, enjoy the time together before separating afterwards
Pinnacles, long hikes/runs up and down, beautiful scenery, lucky hitch after a rainy stream hike to Hot Water Beach, a beach too hot to walk on
My 3rd Helpx experience, first time on a farm with many different animals and a lovely woman, hitched 7 times from Hot Water Beach to get there.
Visiting Nell, a distant relative, for the first time. Lovely couple, beautiful property and delicious dishes with wine, playing the piano at a friends house
Small cave walk, huge trees, muddy paths, beautiful views, first time camping alone, more mud knee deep, lovely trail angels
building a wheelbarrow for the accommodation, Waitomo Glowworm Cave, 40 km day, another lovely family as trail angels, playing the piano, cleaning windows,
Resupplying in Te Kuiti, keep taking the wrong way, left behind backpack...or not, just fishing, challenging paths on slippery slopes
A nice biking trail through the forest, suspension bridges, Glowworms, long days, night hikes
