Day 33 - Arohena to Waipapa Dam

 4th Feb

Today’s section was 24km of road walking. We had a number of cyclists come past. One couple were from Wellington and had begun their journey on e-bikes from Cape Reinga 15 days ago. They even gave us their contact details if we were in Wellington and needed a place to stay.

The weather was clear and hot. We were glad to finally reach the Waipapa Dam. Sandie had gone ahead with the motorhome and so was able to ‘transfer’ us to Mangakino (16km) further on where we would stay the night. 

Mangakino has a lot going for it. Parks, a golf course, frisbee golf, and a wonderful lakeside reserve with a pontoon for water play etc. Karl was in his element. Popping bombs, manus and staples.
