Once packed and a feed in our puku we set of once again along ninety mile beach.
Cloud cover kept us comfortable and we got into the rhythm of the walk.
We followed a forest road after the 30k mark. In behind the sand dunes we passed horses grazing. Hukatere campsite greeted us. Lucia met us at the reception. She was on a working holiday from the Czech Republic. She was a piano tutor.
We set up tent and met Gabby the owner of the campground. She had a German accent and wore bright pink rimmed glasses. She was kind yet frank about things. She asked if we could help lift a fridge she had bought, into the main lodge. We helped out and she allowed us a free drink from the kitchen fridge. That ginger beer tasted the best!
I played the piano on the lodge veranda. Lucia played a piece out of Game of Thrones.
I was also asked by Gabby if I play guitar. ‘Sure do’. She passed me a fender acoustic and I played a few Bryan Adams tunes.
All is good on the Trail.
