Day 35, Pahautea Hut to Jo's Funny Farm (856)
A very wild night with even some snow at pop times but it was relatively cozy in the hut especially when I was in bed.

The morning was still rather blustery but I didn't need much encouragement to leave the cold hut and continue the trail.

There was a good boardwalk to the next top and then it was back to the mud and tree roots.

There were a couple of viewpoints but only the tops of trees to look at.

Another high point to cross and then a slow and slippery descent to the road where I met two totally unprepared people who were about to head up the hill, they were in for a shock.

The countryside here at an altitude of 1000ft is a bit different but still good dairy country.

A few kilometers on the road and I arrived at Jo's Funny Farm to a great welcome, she has a huge double garage that has everything that walkers need; beds, shower, food and a great host.

It was a short day as I was supposed to be here yesterday and it would have been a shame to miss the hospitality here.
