Te Araroa 31/10/25

Day 36, Waitoma to Te Kuiti.(907)

It was a beautiful morning when we set off down the road to Waitoma which is a tourist destination for the caves here but nothing was open at that time of the morning.

SJ, Di and Ruby on the trail leaving Waitomo
The trail today crossed farmland, patches of bush and a number of hills.
Bush and farmland 
There was a strong wind to keep the temperature down but the humidity was high and although it was a short day it felt longer.
Bush and farmland
There were some great views of the rolling farmland that is changing to sheep country as the altitude increases.
Fertile farmland
Te Kauri is a reasonable sized town and I was able to restock, do some washing and get fish and chips.
Down to Te Kuiti
Camped in a trail angel's garden, excellent facilities again with the big garage set up as a kitchen / lounge.
