After stormy night, rain and strong wind against us blowing for 2 hours was the beginning.
After 15km walk on the beach the arch of my right foot started aching a little by little. Couldn’t think about anything else.

While I was suffering Nobu collected full of shells in the bag. Yes, tonight is seafood again!!

It was a long walk to Hukatere camping ground.

Cat named Star was lovely

Tania who runs place saying “KIA KAHA” with fist bump to cheer us up. The word has a power we felt it strongly.

Nice warm kitchen and hot shower we couldn’t move out for a while. Thanks!


Dinner was steamed shells by Nobu and gigantic smoothie by Tania!

I thought I was ready to finish the beach but my right foot aching hard. The pain and frustration made me cry. Anxiety stroke me maybe I can’t go on…


Nobu carried my backpack from the half point. So I was able to reach YHA Ahipara. Will was the only thing made me walk.

Thanks Nobu!

Walked 8am to 6pm. Got salty sand shower from the bus running on the beach and escaped from high tide and took a nap. It was a long day!

Haka like posture. Nobu wanna learn it on this trip.
