Man it is cold this morning. My bladder nudges me out of the tent. We have a coffee and decide to go out for breakfast. We pack up quickly, my legs are sore from yesterday but not as bad as I thought they may be.

After breakfast, we went to the little market and window shopped in town. There is a trail through forests that is really designed for mountain bikers. We skip that and stick to the road. Ikamatua is only 26km away, a very easy day. There are a few hills but not so bad. I also leave a glove behind and have to turn around. We arrive at the pub/Hotel around 1pm.

We set up our tent, had a shower and hand washed some clothes. The weather is sunny and warm, and I am sure it will all dry pretty fast. We got a jug of beer, 2x cheeseburgers and our accommodation for $57! That is really cheap! Got to love small towns.

We read our books for the afternoon and enjoyed the weather. Then headed back knto the pub for dinner. Dinner wasn’t as good my fish was okay. Rowan had lamb shanks but they were roasted rather than braised properly. But we can’t complain it was a big meal with lots of vegetables.
