Out of two thumbs

8.7km 2.5 hours overcast.

No one had alarms set this morning thankfully so we had a bit of a relaxed start. With a full hut it was a bit tight to breakfast inside but luckily it was a lovely morning to eat al fresco.

Heading down from the hut we saw a naughty wallaby that looked like it had been doing very well eating little alpine plants. The couple we were walking behind had actually seen two so we relied on them to report them.

It wasn't long at all before we spotted Paul hanging out on the ridge able the ski field road. He had biked up to meet us.

We swung into Tekapo to eat some amazing pork belly pies from the greedy cow Cafe and organise some bikes for the next day biking to ohau. Unfortunately though they're was no reasonable accommodation to be had in the entire town, even the campsite was $65pp so Phil had managed to get us a motel unit with bunks and a bed in Fairly. It was a jolly good thing too because at about 7pm it bucketed down! We were all very glad to be under a roof!Leggi altro
