Te Araroa 0 - Auckland




The travel. 
Left Dublin for Dubai on a 7 hour flight. Tried to sleep as much as possible. Then Dubai to Auckland on a 15 hour flight. Thank goodness I went Premium Economy, more legroom and again slept as much as possible. My neighbours son collected me at the airport. Well it was Gwen Horner because Philip was working. It was so good to see a familiar face. I will buy last minute supplies and then get bus to the start of the Te Araroa. Let the adventure begin.

    You made it to NZ! Will you get a new trail name… or will you still go by Bitter Sweet? Have fun and stay safe!
