Te Araroa 20 - Ruakaka campground to Bed in S&K’s house

 

 I got up at 5:30 and went to kitchen to make breakfast. I had left my food on the counter the night before. Ants had invaded everything. I got rid of most but I couldn’t get them all out of my porridge . So I just had ant flavoured porridge. Walked for 2 hours to next town. I went to Presbyterian church and lived meeting my brother and sisters in Christ. I was invited to lunch with Shane & Krystal, they offered me a bed for the night. They drove me back to the trail after lunch so could walk the missed bit and rejoined them. I went with K to a special evening service in another church. Ian McCormack, a man who had a near-death experience after being stung by five box jellyfish in 1988 and now shares his story of seeing heaven. Very interesting.

This town is very Scottish 
from the original settler’s. 

They have a pipeline from Marsdon Bay 
to Auckland to ship petrol.
