We now walk. . .

Into the Wild.

After gathering their belongings the two check out of their Hostel. Their packs, heavier than they have ever been before, hanging on their backs, trying desperately to bring them to the ground. Shocked by the immense weight the two stumble through the city buying the last couple of supplies, eventually to crash in an internet cafe, exhausted from the short walk.
Their bus leaves in two hours, with a bit of luck it will bring them to waipu from where they will walk 3 miles to a campsite. Here they will rest and acclimatise, hopefully getting used to the weight of their packs and sleeping in a tent.

The plan is to hike from the campsite to either Whangarei, or beyond to the next campsite.
Chances are this will be the last message from me in quite a while.

  1. Hey mannen,

    Jullie zijn toe aan een rollator. Eentje met een rem (rem alleen gebruiken als je heuvel af gaat hoor).

    groetjes, met een tikje leedvermaak en een zweem van jalouzie

    Freek
