Day 45 - Owhango

A shorter day today, 25km. One because it’s the first day on the legs for a while, and two because it’s nearly 30°C and sunny. Summer is here in force, brutally so.

I found a curious Ostrich. 

11am photo. A day of mostly roads. Lame. 

Waiting for the farmers to get their cows through. 

The town I’m staying close to, Owhango, where the 42 Traverse hike starts. This I will walk tomorrow to get to Tongariro. 

I reached a green grass patch 2km past Owhango where I could pitch my tent for free. It had a gorgeous river that I was only too keen to swim in after such a hot day.
