Te Araroa 3 - 90 mile beach (part 2)

 

Last night I was so depressed. On a scale of one to ten, I was at three to giving up. Not really going to quit but certainly thinking about it. My friend at home helped me through the rough patch. Slept like a log. Woke and excited to continue. Breakfast of 3 portage packets and a coffee. 

Broke camp at 7. Walked 30km to the next camp site. Gabi was lovely, welcomed us with an orange. We had hot showers, man it felt good. There’s even spaghetti bolognaise materials for sale. One of our group is going to cook for us all. 





Bet you’ve never seen a coconut with muscles!!
