Roads Flooded

Left the beautiful curio bay and made our way towards invercargill. At this point we were pretty low on food (aside from dry meals which we’re getting pretty boring at this point). We made it to a small cafe at Fortrose where we ordered some blessed fries (potatoes are always a good go-to for the vegans). Sadly, the cafe was only staffed by 1 person who was caught in a lunchtime rush. Needless to say we had a loooong break. Richard recognized the logo from his soccer club in Jena and ended up having a good chat with some folks from his hometown.

Back on the road mid afternoon but after a couple km we came to a “road closed” sign. Our route had been flooded by the torrential rains of the previous days. We put our thumbs up and quickly caught a ride from some locals with a trailer.

Well restocked with food and beer, we made our way to Beach Road Holiday Park for two nights.Les mer
