Te Araroa, Day 55

Dec. 29, 2023, Matahiwi to Rivertime Lodge, 24 km, km 1268,1

 

24 km today. I start at 8:45. Still walking on the nice and quiet country road. I struggle for the first 10 km. My back hurts and my backpack seems to be extraordinarily heavy. I have a break at 10 km and drink a can of “Monster”. That helps. The next 10 km are good. I struggle on the last 4 km again but finally after about 5 hrs I get to the Rivertime Lodge and pitch my tent. 

Since the weather is dry, I wash some clothes in the shower and hang them to dry. Later some rain showers come but till then everything is dry.
