Can I go home now? Everything hurts!

Google says we have done 16.5km polar steps says we have done 13km, I am not sure which one is right.  It has been a rough day, we are definitely out of shape, but I am looking forward to doing it all again tomorrow.  As we started we definitely had a lot of quick stops to readjust but then got our stride on.  It was like going down memory lane for me, walks I had done hundreds of times as a kid.  We had our first proper stop for 15min in Stanmore Bay where we ran into some locals who hike regularly.  We stayed on the beaches as much as possible, but did do a lot of road walking too.  As we hit Orewa we both were really hungry and needed a fuel stop, the stretch to Subway was slow and draining. On the beach was quite chilly and we took a good 45min break. By this time we are getting close to 3pm so we realise we won’t make it easily to Wenderholm. We push onto Hatfield Beach where you’re only allowed in self contained vehicles. So we pop into the bushes and we waited for dusk before setting up the tent. Now inside pretending we are allowed here haha.
